Looking for some computer help

[MarineOne]

After soliciting all the advice, and doing all that, the signal is very anemic unless you are sitting on the router. I did a little google searching, and found out the my particular wifi modem is only good out to about 50 feet from the router, and that was when it was brand new. So, I might go with an after market card after all.

Anyway, thank you to all that responded with suggestions.

Keith,

I use a G-SKY USB wireless adapter here in the sandbox. I had to get a 9dbi antenna with a 15 foot antenna cable because of the distance to the access point and to keep the USB transceiver indoors, but it works great. Here's the one I've been using for the last year:

I figure that if I ever did some wardriving this would be the perfect wireless adapter to use with a can to nab signals with.

Great, you just had to go and give me a second choice I thought it was going to be an easy decision.
Really though, I thank you for the input, it really does give me somethings to ponder.
