It has to go through another wall and the "echo" suggestion sounds, well.....sound.

I think I'm going to move my router and cable modem closer to my XBOX and give that a shot.

Normally, I would be able to run it wired (and I still may try that) but I moved my console off of our TV in our bedroom and into a sitting area where I do my work stuff.

I'll get back to ya.

OK, I wired my 360 and my PS3.

I think our interior walls must be made of lead.   

So far, so good, but I moved the modem and router into our bedroom.  Now I'll need some black electrical tape to put over the LED's so they don't light up the room at night.

OMG man. LOL.

So Single mode G would not work on 2.4Ghz?

Some black magic market may work too. Still let through enough light to troubleshoot, but make it less. Test it on some small bit of one of the less important lights, or with something that washes off, first though.

Furry, I dunno, didn't test just "G" band.  

But now the router is 10 feet from my gaming desktop and I have it (DGL4500) wired to my XBOX.  It's incredible!  I've never had my speed tests for my desktop go over 20mbps but they're between 25 and 30mbps now.

I'm finally getting my money's worth!!!

Harry, thanks for the magic marker suggestion.  You're right, if I need to remove it, rubbing alcohol takes it right off.

G'night guys, I'm off to bed.

Just an update.  I counted the walls that the wireless signal had to go through and it was at least 4.....and the wall nearest the router was chock full of DVD's.

My router is now on the farthest end of the house from our game room, but the wireless signal is making it there, thank goodness.

That quiet a lot of material to go thru. Specially for 5Ghz. 2.4Ghz should make it most of the way, however the more material you have, the more interference. Why I like wired.
