Alrightly so a few months back I bought a Laptop. Paid $1400 for it, really nice laptop. But I have a (trendnet) router. Not the best router out there. But I had a extremly shitty signal with it.
I took it back and got a Custom built Desktop PC built for gaming. But now I need a laptop for school. The laptop I paid 1400$ for a year ago is now 699$ Im wondering if it was the laptop or my wireless router causing the problem. I could not walk more than 10 feet without getting "poor signal". And I need a laptop for school now. Heres a link to my original Laptop perhaps some one can take a look and tell me. I need desk net connection possible, suggestion on what to look into also?

need **best** net possible. Sorry for that spelling mistake!

I would give a benefit of doubt iin favour to the laptop; unless proven otherwise I will pretend the router is the culprit; but if not so I can always buy another wireless card add onto the laptop since they are cheap if you go and look around.
Isn't 10 feet more or less like 11alpha wireless? Unless airwave is jammed in the 2.4 GHz band 10 feet is too short for 11beta/gamma wireless.

Its not your laptop....check your router settings if the signal is boosted (or on turbo) it will stop as soon as you leave the room. Check to see if the settings are on 108, if they are change them to 54. On 108 the signal is stronger but a narrower band, on 54 its not as strong but wider, this should help. Good luck...Steve

I would not think it would be the notebook that caused the problem... The router is not all that great...Make sure that you are not around any other devices (cordless phones, Microwave...) anything that uses 2.4 GHZ it will cause a block.

Popup Blocker:
Spend time surfing the Internet and you know about pop-up advertisements, small windows that open automatically to promote Web sites or products. Some pop-ups are benign; others more malevolent, spawning new pop-ups as quickly as you can close them – causing your Internet connection to slow dramatically as your browser tries to load all the unwanted incoming data.
With the Popup Blocker, you can block these pop-up Web pages, often shutting them down before you are aware of them. It also filters many Web page graphical advertisements on the pages you visit. Preventing these ads speeds your Web page loading times dramatically by cutting out the content you don’t need while leaving the information you do.
The Popup Blocker is installed into the System Tray where you can manage popups as you surf the Internet.
To enable the Popup Blocker tool:
Check the Enable System Mechanic Popup Blocker tool check box.
To add a window title rule to the Black List:
Click Add and the Black List - Add new Popup Window Title Rule window appears. Active browser window titles are listed in the large box.
Type the name of a window to block in the empty text box.
Note: When adding an open popup to your Black list, the popup window closes immediately and is prevented from appearing in the future. It also adds the browser name to the list. This only works if you use one Web browser. To block that popup from all browsers and website is blocked you use, add a new rule to the list.
Enabling Homepage Guard will keep your Internet home page from changing without your knowledge. It stops malware, adware, viruses and other Web sites from taking you anywhere you do not want to go.
Enabling Search Page Guard keeps your Internet search page from changing without your knowledge. It stops malware, adware, viruses and other Web sites from taking you anywhere you do not want to go.
