Couple of simple things to try first. Make sure you raise the router as high as possible in the room it's in. Try connecting in the room. Next, go into the router setup and disable all security to make sure it's not a security issue. Finally, try changing channels. Did he enable any security features such as WEP, WPA, MAC address filtering, no ssid broadcasts? MCSE, MCSA Messaging, baby!
