oi~

i have a PowerBook with Mac OS X v10.1.5 installed. i want to utilize the AirPort i got, it works.. issue is that even if the AirPort base-station is a few inches away from the PB the signal level is not even 50%.. i would like to have the AirPort base-station downstairs in my basement where i have my other (Windows/Linux) computers and use the PB upstairs. i put the AirPort base-station on top of the stairs and go sit on the couch, maybe 3-4ft away and the signal drops completely... anyone any idea what the problem could be ? i'm currently not using the PB enough due to this issue, if more info needed maybe add how to obtain that info from the Mac.

thanks!
