Also - be in the same room as the access point when doing the testing - there's no point being in a marginal signal area when you have other uncertianties, and going back to even more basics, see if your access point has a scanner to see which channels are already in-use in your area and pick one well awayFor the XP laptop a good freeware utility is Net Stumbler. http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/
If you can't get a scanner for Linux this one does the job nicely.Then as Gordon says test the laptop in the same room and check what channels any other WiFi networks use.
