Okay, here's the setup.

Netgear Rangemax router with 1 PC wired, 2 PC's wireless, 1 macbook wireless, and now my dad just got a dual powerpc g5 and we ordered an Airport Extreme card.

Plugged the card in, including the little wire antenna and it only works up to maybe 15 ft. away. And at that range, the signal is really weak. It has full signal right next to the router and of course works when it's wired in.

Any suggestions?
