    Sorry cannot help you in relation to the signal strength.

    A lot of people use avg and are happy with. No product is 100% so if you are happy with avg stick with it.

    Panda is just another make, like I said if you are happy stay with what you know.

    What room are you in in relation to the router when the connection is lost?

    How far apart are the two rooms?

    You may find you need to move the router to a different position in the house to be able to get a signal everywhere.

    What router is it?

    Is it brand new?

    Try moving the routers aerial from a vertical to a horizontal position.
