Wireless card for laptop

I gave my uncle an old laptop running Windows ME and a DLINK PCMCIA card adaptor for wireless. The problem is that it connects to the wireless service but at a level of 40% or less. In my house it connected at 100% and I had no problem accessing the web. He gets the error msg of "SERVER NOT FOUND." I took my mini netbook to his house, accessed the same wirelss provider and got a 100% signal from my ASUS EEE PC 4G and my Acer 3502 laptop and had no problems accessing email, the web, AIM messenger, etc, while his was showing 38% signal. He was no more than 2 feet away from me. Is there anyway I can improve his signal -- new PCMCIA card with high access, perhaps? The laptop is excellent condition and he is a novice and just wants it for web and email with no major computing (Office, etc). I appreciate any suggestions. It worked fine for me at my house which is 1 mile from him.
