I recently purchased a used HP Pavilion ze4610 (ze4600) laptop. The
problem is that I have a terrible wireless range. The internal wireless
card is an IBM High Rate MiniPCI Combo Card 802.11b. The range....from
about 3 to 5 feet from my router was the best. I then upgraded the
driver from a 1.04 to 1.07 it was about 8-10 feet from the
router...still deplorable. What do I do about this problem? I am
considering getting a wireless card (PCMCIA/USB) but don't know which
is best. At this point it isn't the speed that matters it's all in the
range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
