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.

Francis
