Hey guys, my first post, this problem is driving me crazy.

I recently purchased a new wireless router because my old router did not support WPA encryption.

Old router: 3com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Router
New router: DLINK DI-524 802.11g/2.4GHz Wireless router

When I am in the same room as the new router everything works fine, however when I move further away the signal drops dramatically. The old router has good coverage throughout the house.

To try and remedy this problem I purchased a "9dbi Booster WiFi Wireless Router Antenna Aerial-SMA" which I attached to the back of the new router. Unfortuately this has made no noticable improvement.

Any idea on how to get better signal, Im pulling my hair out at the moment.

Many thanks guys
