Hello, I'm having trouble getting my Netgear WG111v2 to hold the signal from my Netgear Router WGR614. I'm told that the adapter is a good one but yet I can only get it to work for minutes at a time. If you speak to the supplier then they say it's because my router and pc are too far appart but then why is it that my Ipod and Nintendo Wii pick up the signal from the router no problem? This is really frustrating. Any suggestions?

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 3.0.11

Dear Sir,

Most wireless adapter are weak,

I will advise you to place your laptop or pc near the wireless router when you want to use the internet

Thanks

Thanks, but as I mentioned initially I have a Nintendo Wii and an ipod which can access the internet wirelessly using the same router. I am trying to find out why my netgear USB adapter keeps dropping the signal to my desktop pc? - its in the same room as the wii and ipod!
