Hi Steven, I am facing the same problem. I bought myself a Belkin 54g and a wireless PCMCIA card so I could work in the garden instead of going to the office. Problem is I can't reach the garden. Don't get confused, I don't live in an enormous villa ;-). If I get outside, about 15 meters from the router, with 3 walls in between, I loose the connection. So if you receive a solution, please let me know.
