    My wireless router is on one end of the house, my son's pc is on the other. I bought a Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter for his pc, but it barely gets a signal.
    I know the adapter works because it's hooked up to my other 'puter right now.
    My wife's laptop works fine wirelessly in my son's room. No problems at all. I figure that the USB adapter just isn't picking up the signal as well as her laptop does.

    The way I figure it, I have two options:
    A) Move the router to a more central location of the house. Or,
    B) Buy a more powerful wireless adapter.

    I'd rather do option B.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
