I think the term you're looking for is "Make Daily Call Now". Connecting only proves the connection and status, it doesn't download the latest information for the program guide. And even when it does make the call, it may take an hour or two to fully load all the program data.
Try positioning the router and adapter in various positions until you get a better signal. Move them so they go through as few walls as possible, and not lengthwise along a wall, the fewer obstructions, the better the signal will be. The signal strength is simply what the adapter sees at that moment, mine is typically around 60-80%, it's going through 2 walls, and is about 40 ft away. If you have wireless issues, www.cnet.com has tips on finding issues with your router, for instance many baby monitors, cordless phones and other wireless devices all share the 2.4 GHz frequency, as well as other routers in your area. Even with houses 200 ft apart in my area, I can see about 6-8 other router signals, though weak. Some areas, especially apartments, can have a few routers all on the same channel, making everyone's performance poor.
