after "upgrading" from a WG614v2 to a WGU624. Any ideas?

I just removed the old drivers and router and installed the new one and its
setup files. The farthest pc used to get a very low/low signal, now it gets
nothing. The closer pc used to get a low/good signal, now it gets very
low/low.


The new router is supposed to have a much broader range. I have a WG511 in
the laptop and a WG311 in the desktop. Nothing but the router changed.

Isnt there a lemon law for wireless routers. If it sits in the same
location as the old router then it sounds like it may be a tad bit less
effective. One thing I found that helps for my laptop is to put one of
the antennas horizontal because most laptop cards antennas are kind of
horizontal. The other one is left vertical for my PCI card in another
pc.

I don't know about the WGU624, but the WG614v4 seems to be have better
range than my SMC7004WFW did.

The WG511 that I added to my PC at the same time has far better range than
the Orinoco silver that I used to have, measured against multiple WAPs.

You might try some parabolas or corner reflectors on the WAP.

I used the EZ-10 corner reflector, because I had some difficulty forming
the parabola, and the EZ-10 was enough gain for me.
