Thanks for the advice, but so far no luck...

I've tried a different channel, fiddling with the antenna, raising the
router and even moving the router to another part of the house. I've
tried switching off the cordless phone as well. All make no difference.
I still have the same problem... reception will always be fine when I
am in the same room as the router, but in another part of the house
reception will sometimes be fine but will sometimes vary and sometimes
drop away completely for a period.

I live in an area of low-density housing in a rural village so I really
doubt it's my neighbours or the authorities. We've only just got
electricity round here ;-)

I will try upgrading my device driver (i've got a different problem
here,

If this makes no difference i guess it's got to be a h/w fault?

Thanks for your input.
