Try changing the channel the router uses. It could be picking up interference from somewhere.0

bottom right hand corner of the screen, there will be a wireless icon, hover over and the info should be displayed for you.
there's usually 11 or 13 channels you can choose from, for your router and computer to chat on, so that you and the guy next door arn't on the same frequency - this reduces interference0 -
What laptop is it ?
I had a HP DV9000 series laptop last year that could not get a connection from 2 foot away from the router.
There is a known wireless problem with some HP and Compaq laptops.0 -

To check or change the wireless channel try this:
Open Internet Explorer or Firefox.
In Address bar type 192.168.1.1
For the username and password , try admin and password,provided you have not changed the password on the configuration earlier.
At the top left hand click on Wireless settings (under setup)
Change the channel from there.
Click Apply and reboot the router after the settings are updated.
** IP address might be 192.168.0.1 instead.0
