    Continue to have problem....
    replaced router with Linksys WRT54 GX,(had previous WRT54 GX for over 2 years no problem, Linksys sent a free one to replace what they said was a defective router) signal still drops off after 60 feet. one Pc (2 years old) has Linksys WPC300N adapter other has integrated intel wireless G( 1 year old). Plus A new MBP. All notebooks have same problem. Need help solving this problem.
    Should I switch to Airport Extreme(or other N router)? Would it work with the linksys WPC300N and integrated intel G, or will it slow down the network? I'm willing to buy an adapter to replace the intel wireless g if needed. I was under the impression that you need the same brand router and adapter to achieve best performance. thanks for any help....
    Or should have a more knowledgable person come to my home and troubleshoot the problem...
