Have you tried adjusting the angle of the antenna on the back of the
DG834GT ?
I believe the strongest signal is in the shape of a toroid centred on
the antenna.
Is the metal case of the PC obstructing the wireless signal ?
Are there any wires close to the DG834GT that could be obstructing the
signal ?
