why am I having trouble connecting?

Question

Alright, I just got a Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook with wireless connection. I also have a Netgear router connected to my desktop.

What I want to know is how far can I be away from it? Im about 200 feet away and Im getting a VERY low connection, it also disconnected every once in awhile.

Is there anything I can do to increase my connection?
Thanks

My experience is that wireless is good for about 50 feet before signal drops. Ya can get another 50 feed with a signal booster. Walls can damper signal strength as well as flourescent lighting. Good luck.
