Ok, I am using a Wrt54gs(wireless router), and the brother(adapter) and am having a Signal strength problem. I am broadcasting it about 60 feet. Theirs 1 comp connected via eithernet to router, and then 1 wireless with an adapter(pci) I am getting around 50% Keep in mind the router and adapter are both the linksys g with speed booster. This is sad. Ive used their tech support and it hasn't helped. I have played with the channels, optimized security settings for speed but got nothing. 50% seems horrible for the range and everything. Can anyone help me?
