Just installed a D-Link dir-655 and have pour range.
My router is on my stairs banister.
It links wirelessly to my lounge htpc about 3m away, full signal.
but my pc in my kitchen, about 10m away, through a door, across the kitchen and round the corner, only gets 1 bar. My neighbours wireless network, 20m away and in the detached house next door is just as strong!!
What's the crack guys?!!
I have tried the 3 ariels in all different orientations but nothing improves it.

Cheers for any ideals.

Oh, it's set to channel 1, 20/40mhz, wireless n only. 2.4ghz
 
Right, cannot get it in the loft without lots of re-wiring.
Have downloaded inssider and seen neighbours on channel 6, covering channels 4-8 (20Mhz).
I have changed to channel 1 20Mhz, so covering -2-3, in theory.
Still only getting 1 bar! And he is on -81db and i am on -79db!
Have moved ariels to \|/ but no better, tried moving it from its side to flat, the rotated 90deg and never any better than 1 bar.
Next I guess is to unwire it, try it on loft somehow and on ground floor. If 1 is better I will worry how to get modem ethernet to router another way. Powerline maybe?!
 
First off thanks for your comments and help Dave.
Turned the extra wireless protection off, but not the short gi, will do that next.
I will try it in loft, hall and kitchen and see if signal gets better.
Time to get the 20m extension lead out!!!
 
Tried router by front door, no signal change.
Move to lounge which is central as possible and get 3/4 bar and connection indicated as 139mb up from 36mb!
Homeplugs ordered!!
