What model linksys router? if it's a WRT54G, you can flash it with custom firmware (Alchemy) that allows you to boost the signal 4-5 times the normal.

Other routers can be flashed as well, AFAIK.

You're lucky, that's a great router.

Check out this link:
http://wrt54g.thermoman.de/

It's going to get a little advanced, but nothing you can't handle.

The page that I linked to above is a good starting point, but you're going to have to do some reading.

Like I said in my original post, "upgrading" your firmware will add some serious functionality to your router (including; upping the signal strength).

Good luck!

Click the link right below this sentence:
http://wrt54g.thermoman.de/

Trying out the other wireless card certainly wouldn't hurt, in fact it could solve your problem altogether!
