Agreed. My deskop and laptop use wireless, the server and xbox have network 
cables plugged into the router. I can work anywhere in the flat on the 
laptop and still see the wireless.
Signal's a bit low in the bedroon (thick, very solid walls) I may have to 
pick up a repeater sometime.

Generally cheap routers/access points cause bad signal.
