SO i built this new computer in my room, one floor up from main computer and router. It was orignally a wireless-g router. i have a wireless-g pc adapter in my new computer, its a dlink2320. on average i get about 50% connectivity. so, i bought a new wireless N router, yet i still get the same connectivity. what should i do to get a more stable connection?

oh i also forgot, if i move the pole in the wireless card around, it significantly changes connectivitiy, usually lowers it.

Have you tried setting your old G router up as an access point and moved it a little closer to where you are? Might hlep a little.

im not quite sure on how to do that. can you explain in depth?

On my router, you know how you log into your router and it has all the configuration options? On mine anyway, it has the setting to use it as an access point. What that should do is to pick up your signal, and extend it. I have not had to actually use the setting. But I know it's an option at least on my Belkin. On my router, I have to log in via a web interface, so like open say internet explorer, firefox etc, and put in the IP address of your router when it's hooked up. For example, my router on my network is 192.168.2.1

When I get in there, of course before I make changes I have to log in with my password to my router, and the option is on the left side of my page, if you have your manual, read that, or do a google search, you should be able to find more info, or maybe someone else here has done that, I just have not had to do it, but sounds like an idea that may work for you.

okay ill take a look around on the menu.
