walmart sells routers for cheap. linksys ones at that. you could try a usb wireless antena for your pc or laptop… but if it dont work you would have wasted money. i had an issue with my router a while back when we replaced it. I had to add a diffrent aftermarket antenna to the router to extend the range inside the house… ---

Just pick up a linksys, you can find Wireless G ones really cheap someplaces, for around 30-40 bucks… D-Links are garbage… I’ve never had a good experiance with one Belkins can be decent linksys ftw ---

I got two DLinks and they work fine. I think anyone of those cheap ones will have the same chance at working out ok. ---

Well I guess theres a few dlinks out there that are not to bad… but i try to steer people away from them as most people would rather pay the 30-40 bucks for a linksys then a more expensive d link that may work ---
