un-consistant wireless signal

[maffa_82]

i have resently been having a problem with my wireless signal. At times it can go as high as 48Mbps and then within minutes it will drop to 5Mbps and still have the same signal strength. I have read up on "home made" signal boosters using a pringals or coke can but dont like the look of them and dont want to really spend much money on a new antenna. Is there any other way i can boost the signal or am i stuck with a dodgy signal?

i have now sorted the problem. it was the router downstairs that was being stupid, alls i did as point the "back" of the router towards my pc upstairs and the transfer rate stays higher than 24Mbps.
