    Netvigator wireless range

    Just bought a netbook to use for listening to radio in bed. However the signal from my netvigator wif fi router doesn't seem to be strong enough and the connection in the bedroom keeps dropping out or saying "signal strength: very low".

    Bedroom is about 6m away from the router, as the crow flies. all doors open.

    Any thoughts how I can improve the wifi reception in the bedroom? It does seem to be variable - my big laptop works in there now and again. How wide a range should a netvigator router have?

    It's totally dependant on what's in between. If you have line of sight to the router then probably 50m+ but if there are steel reinforced walls in the way (as there are in nearly all HK buildings), then you won't get very far at all.
