    I am still getting a "very low" signal through. I tried taking the lappy up earlier and got on the bed "low signal" got comfy and the b****d cut out on me

    philip's comment from bbuyer website..

    As for range - well I ran a test. WAG54G V2 upstairs 15 metres from base station - Centrino Laptop got 54 Mbps Very Good Signal, using 128 bit WEP. I then plugged in the WAG353G and the signal fell to 18 Mbps signal strength low. Moving a further 10 feet away, the WAG353G fell to 11 Mbps whereas the WAG 54G V2 remained at 54Mbps.

    sounds like that model has a range problem..
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    if you haven't done the router firmware upgrade yet , it's worth a shot, before you give up.
