With 802.11b or 802.11g routers and access points, the maximum range is up to 150 feet (46 meters) indoors and 300 feet (92 meters) outdoors. With 802.11a routers and access points, the maximum range is 50 feet (15 meters) indoors and 100 feet (30 meters) outdoors. These ranges are in optimal conditions with no interference. Make sure that your computer is within this range and as close as possible to the router or access point. If the computer is portable, try moving it around to determine the range of the wireless signal and the best place to put the computer.
If you are unable to get closer to the router or access point, you might want to consider buying and installing an external antenna to your wireless network adapter. Many wireless network adapters are set up so that you can attach an external antenna to them, which will provide you with better reception than the built-in antenna. Check the information that came with your wireless network adapter to see if you can install an additional antenna.
also,Some home devices can cause interference between your computer and networks that might be in range. For example, microwave ovens and some cordless phones use the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) frequency, which is also used by 802.11b and 802.11g network hardware. Other cordless phones use the 5 GHz frequency, which is used by 802.11a network hardware.
There are two things you can try in this situation:
If any devices like these are near your computer, turn them off temporarily or move them farther away.
Change the router or access point settings to use a different wireless channel, or set the channel to be selected automatically if it is set to a fixed channel number. Sometimes, one wireless channel is clearer than others. In the United States and Canada, you can use channels 1, 6, and 11. Check the information that came with your access point or router for instructions about setting the wireless signal channel.

That is not much to go on. You may want to provide some basic information like the model number of your router, what your wanting to do, and some kind of an idea of the problem you are having doing it. Also information like the operating system used by any computers you need help with connecting to the router.

I've got a netgear router too. I must say, the instructions provided are as clear as mud. I even tried the web site, tried to register but it would not recognize my serial number. WTF?
I wound up going to Geek Squad at Best Buy. They fixed me up with no charge. You might give them a try.
