Well I've just gotten high speed internet and things have gone pretty smooth other than the cable company having to come out and tweak/remove a "high pass" as they called it at the telephone pole. I have a cable modem/wireless access point, Motorola SBG900. We have one computer, the furthest away from the cable modem that can not get a stable connection. It is using a Netgear 802.11g PCI card, model WG311. http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/sbg900/ http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG311.php It can detect the network and connect but the signal is so low the connection icon in the bottom right of the screen stays with a red x but I can still surf. It will also lose the signal than get it back, this happens often. However I can get a laptop in there with wireless and it gets a low 11Mbps signal and is stable. The desktop is against the wall shared with the bathroom on the other side, which I think is the problem. Will the piping mess up the signal? My point being I'm looking into a wireless antenna, so far I have found these two but the reviews are hit and miss. Has anyone found a good solution for this? Moving the computer isn't something that we want to do. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000ABPKG/sr=8-1/qid=1142040413/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-5515606-6780700?%5Fencoding=UTF8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006SCIX/sr=8-7/qid=1142040413/ref=pd_bbs_7/104-5515606-6780700?%5Fencoding=UTF8 Thanks.

You know on the Comcast site they seem to be pushing 6Mbps but in the fine print it sometimes mentions 4Mbps. Maybe they need to update things.
