I have a g3 ibook and intel mac mini, anyways...i have an airport express and the mini connects when its right next to it, full bars...the airport and mini are in the family room downstairs...while my ibook is upstairs in my room. my G3 ibook has full bars too in my room. However when i brought the mini to hook up in my room it saw my network, but wouldnt connect to it....any ideas on what i can do?

I have a G4 iBook and Intel Mini. The iBook for sure seems to have more range than the Mini does, but the mini will connect to any Access Point in my house, just the signal is not as strong as the iBook in the same location. Maybe it's the way the Mini's WiFi Antenna is in the top of it's case. The iBook always gets the best signal of any laptop both PC or Mac that I have ever tried or owned.
