Thats the same system I use too. I've had the laptop over 200 feet away from the router with no problems at all.

I hated Linksys, just my opinion but, i had the 54-G stuff and it sucked. I couldn't get a signal 70 feet away from the router!

Now my D-Link 624 changed that. I got signals all over the house :)
If you have $ go for this:

EDIT: I have the DI-624 just so ya know.
