I agree with David.
The card which is in the PC may not be producing a strong enough signal
to penetrate what it needs to.
One of the things I would strongly recommend is to be sure the antenna
on the PC board is an external one. This way you could put on an antenna
with a higher gain. I found that a 10 DB gain antenna was about the
minimum to be able to communicate through most walls in most homes. SBC
advised me that their router would send a signal 100 feet - but - you
need to subtract 10 feet for each wall the signal must pass through. If
there is a closet in the transmission path you had better subtract up to
30 feet at least.
You might also try re-orienting the PC 90 degrees because the antenna
transmits the signal from the sides, not the end. In theory, if the
antenna in the router is vertical the antenna in the PC should also be
vertical. Okay Hams, help out here a little. CYS...

Well the problems I am having is that on my computer the signal is
coming in
great.   I am directly hooked up to the router.  My wife on the other
hand
is hooked up via the usb wireless receiver, she gets maybe half the
signal very low.  Most things such as real time radio comes in very
intermintally and even outlook is very slow receiving and sending email.
    Either  I was going to try the ac networking or an in-between
adapter to bump up the speed or a cat 5 cable.  And we are only about 80
feet from each other but we have 2 walls between us.

Mark I am not only having that type of problem but others as well.  I
think all we can do is to email SBC and let them know that their web
site is not working to well for us.  After you sign in there is a button
that says feed back that can be used to get the problem addressed,
maybe.

> Hello all, I've got a DSL connection with SBC-Yahoo. When I want to

on, I put the Pc cursor in the edit box for my user name and then hit
enter to turn on forms mode. This doesn't always work. When it doesn't
work, it will throw me out of the edit box and into the check box to
remember my ID on this computer. Also, when I want to sign out I hit
alt+f4 which doesn't always work either. It gets me out of Yahoo and
back to the desktop, but sometimes I am still signed on. I don't know
this until the next time I get on. Apparently there's a graphic I can't
see that shows whether or not I'm signed on and sometimes I'm told that
I didn't sign off. Can anyone help me with these problems? Thanks.
