Hi Fred,
If it's just a weak signal, try putting the router as high in the
room as you can get it. If the wireless adapter on your second
computer is of the USB variety, getit as high as you can. If it is
on the back of your computer and can't be elevated, make sure the
signal doesn't have to pass through the computer if possible. I have
had to rotate a computer to accomplish this in the past. If none of
these cheap solutions work, LinkSys makes a device that you can plug
in an outlet halfway between the computers and program to rebroadcast
the signal from the router. It used to run about $100.
