It's not user error. I spent 4 days with tech support and I practically know everything about the router, the IP and all the other stuff.
*IP to Gateway to "Admin" password, to the 1.1. ip, to the windows wireless configuration to that green Lynsys square wireless connection tool"
Everything works great from 5-10 feet away. I moved the computer two 3 different locations: my other room, kitchen, and to the Garage, and it will not pick up the signal.
When I am in the perimeter or like 10 feet, it's great. I am guessing there are external interference. I can also pick up all the neighbors signals too.
It's just the router, location, or the PCI.

Yeah, I get signal from the neighbors down the street too. Just not from my router. So weird. Not user error because how can you explain that it works at 10 feet and not 20 feet?

Maybe turn off the closest cell phone tower.

I wish. This area in which I live in has bad cellphone reception as well, maybe that can be a contributor.
Maybe you guys had more luck but It was a hellish experience for me.
"Originally I went to best buy, some stupid "GEEK SQUAD" mofo wanted $140 to set it up the network, and I said what if it doesn't work ? He said, then I only charge $79 dollars."
I TOLD HIM, yeah, go F*** yourself, if you're from geek squade and you can't figure out a computer problem, you shouldn't charge. Good thing I didn't go through with that, I would have paid money for a simple bad signal problem.
I am typing this with the computer using the wireless connection, it's great, but I am like 5-6 ft away from my other desktop. ~~
I am in the Dining room, if I move it 5 feet to the kitchen, they signal cannot be picked up, ISN"T THAT a bitch???!
