for indoor wireless applications beyond 20 ft. wavelength propagation occurs at 30 db per 100 ft. this is all due to a combination of attenuation by walls, ceilings, furniture and people. each sheet rock wall will attenuate the signal by 6 db (4 db for cement block).
if multiple computers are connecting to a wireless router or AP then yes place the router or AP in the best centralized location for all of the wireless receivers. if only one computer is connected to the router or AP then you need to put the router or AP as close to the receiver as possible. you can also add a omni-directional antenna which will reduce loses from mulipath.

Move your wireless router to a more central location in your house. The closer you are to it, your connection will be faster and stronger. There could be other reasons, like signal interference, your wireless card is malfunctioning, ect. You can boost your signal, make sure the product you are buying is FCC compliant. Most everything you get at Best Buy or Wal-Mart will be safe and legal.

Reposition the router to a higher place. check how far the thing is supposed to transmit and receive. Check for interference, you can usually hear it coming through on sound. You may need to change the channel it's using. I think you just change the channel on the router - I'm waiting to hear about that from Netgear - my signal is supposed to be 35 metres - it's more like 3 metres with a following wind... The installation instructions told me how to plug it in - but there is a knowledge base on the website - but you have to connect to see that of course..... bollox.

A high gain antenna ( Ariel ) will help, some of them even come with an extension lead of about 2 meters , I did this for my daughters wifi as it was behind a very thick wall, and it works very well, Oh and you can either put it on the router or the wifi receiver depending on which set up you have.

Try to have as few solid walls between the computer and the access point as possible. Wireless goes vertical more easily than horizontal so if she is upstairs, and you are downstairs, then try to be in the room beneath hers.
Failing this, buy a booster device.

have you ever tried to reset your connection information (interior the administration panel lower than on the spot connection) for the certain on the spot router that you're utilizing? or you may favor to replace it. U may also verify with between the digital shops to c what they'd recommend, and if not some thing else call the mfg. of the product. also.... is it a chance some different person is utilizing your on the spot connection for his or her personal kit? Now about the virus... I recommend you run the virsu application asap! .

An open umbrella covered inside in tin foil is supposed to increase the signal
