>Are USB adaptors not as good at collecting the signal compared to PCMCIA?<
Correct, USB wi-fi are the bottom run of the ladder in all respects.
If your netgear router has the stubby aerial(s) you could knock up a directional signal booster from some polystyrene foam and a tin can. Google for wi-fi parabolic antenna.0 -
Is your router 802.11b or 802.11g? The latter is a good bit faster.
Also, have you tried a high gain wireless antenna that you can point at your computers? (as opposed to an omni-directional antenna) You can buy them in maplins for less than £20.
And change the channel a few times to see if it improves. I know you did it once already but you may have chosen another default by accident. Play around with the channels until you find one with little/no interference.Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo Da Vinci0
