    Hello everybody,
    maybe anyone has any idea, how come that my brand new XPS1530 cannot catch wireless network (by saying that the signal strength is too low), while placed 3 meters from the router? I would blame the router, but my friend who has an Acer laptop, connects to the same network with no problem whatsoever!
    When I open the wireless networks search, i see several networks. The one I'm trying to connect has 4 bars, another one (probably neighbours) has 1 bar. Just out of curiosity, I connected to the 1-bar network with no prob (internet didn't run though).
    Question is - who is responcible, my laptop or router? Maybe an idea what to check...
    Thanks in advance :)
