Alright I have a Dir-825 router. The 5GHz is turned off and the wirless is on G/N. I have shawcable for my isp and my firmware is 2.06 and its a Rev B Router. I also have Qos Engine on for allowing me to have 2 xboxes on Open NAT. So basically the problem is my wireless signal for some wierd reason is VERY weak. A while ago it used to work really far waay outside. It was around 150ft distance at 4 bars. Now for some reason I can't even go upstairs without getting a 1 or 2 bar signal which is in no comparison to before. So... What can I do and how can I fix this?

Any other WiFi routers in the area? Use InSSIDer to find out.
If you were getting range and now your not, I bet its due to some sort of interference.
Might consider installing a AP or extender upstairs for better signal.
Try changing channels on the 2.4Ghz radio, Try 1, 6 and 11 and see.

I will see if I can figure out what you mean by the channel. Also it has had a strong signal upstairs before so I shouldn't have to have an extender.

Also how do I use this inSSIDer?

Okay I tried changing the wireless channels like you said and I tries CHannel ! 6 and 11 but that made no difference whatsoever...
