> I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a solution to a problem I'm having
> getting wireless Internet reception with  new G5 iMac.

> The set-up is this:
>
> In Room A, I have a Netgear wireless router (WGR614), connected by Ethernet
> to a G3 iMac.
>
> In Room B (about 2 metres (6 feet) from Room A), there is a Wintel machine
> with a Netgear wireless card.
>
> In Room C (about 10 metres (30 feeet) from Room A), is the new G5 iMac with
> an Airport Extreme Card.
>
> The G5 network connection will not work in Room B or C, but does work in
> Room A. I made sure the aerial connection in the G5 to the card, was
> properly in p;ace, but that did not help. I also changed the channels, but
> that did not help either.
>
> The Wintel machine works perfectly in Room C, with the signal showing up as
> "very strong" to "excellent".
>
> My conclusions are:
>
> (1) as the G5 will connect in Room A, the settings must be correct, and
> there is no incompatibility between the Netgear router and the Airport
> Extreme card.
>
> (2) As the Wintel machine will connect in Room C, the router must be sending
> a good signal to Room C.
>
> (3) Therefore, the fault must be in the reception by the Airport card,
> either because it simply is not as effective at picking up the signal as the
> Netgear card, or because the Airport card or its aerial is faulty.
