Hi

I have a USB wireless adaptor connected to my desktop. It shows low signal strength when I try to connect to my wifi. I wonder how I can improve the signal strength? I have max the power of the device and my router. I am using 2wire router and modem from Singnet and Dlink wireless USB adapter.

my guess is, if you are using GWL-122. RevC, it could be a driver problem.

you can improve range by changing to N modem router.

Try belkin F5D8633 or linksys WAG160 .
