I got a intelpro a/g/n wifi card
linksys dual antenna WRT54GS v7 with DD-WRT micro
Any tips on getting faster wireless by using QoS, extending range, etc?
Both computers using wifi, 1 a foot away from the router and this laptop have 60%/40% signal stregth, should be 100% Excillent.
Also I'm going to install a server in the house soon, x2 4800 2gb ram and a 320gb hdd, anyone know of anything I should use it for to make my wifi experence better? I was thinking so far maybe a DNS cache server for my local network ^_^

Check for interferances.
Depending on your internet connection, the signal strengh, even at 40% shouldn't affect your internet speed. I mean, ifyou are on a G connection (54mbps), at 40% you would be at ~22mbps. If you have a 5mbps connection...
If you are only at 1 foot, use a cable -

As long as your computer doesn't lose the connection, you should be alright.
Also, if you're going to be setting up a server, make sure that it's wired to your router (just in case you were thinking of making that wireless too) -
use this proxy server for connection sharing which is optimized for wireless connections & maintain wifi connection when it goes out of covergage & resumes it when on reconnection...
