Okay, here is my dilema. I am running a small network consisting of 7 compters, all using wireless networking. I have one computer in the corner office that absolutely never gets a signal. This office is small I cannot figure out why I would have this problem. FYI were are using a Linksys wireless G router. Any suggestions? Should I switch to wired, or should I get a repeater?

Thanks

Tips for Best Performance
1. Put your Wireless Router at the center of the area that you want to cover.
2. Don't setup wireless devices directly under a Wireless Router.
3. Setup Wireless Router's antenna(s) vertically.
4. Point wireless adapter's antenna toward the Wireless Router.
5. Keep antenna(s) away from radio/TV antenna(s), Wireless phone, microwave and metal fixtures.
6. Place routers and access points high, and as clear of obstructions as practical.
7. If there are more than one wireless routers in the same location, keep the channels out as much as possible.
