I have a D-Link Wireless Cable/DSL Router, 802.11a/802.11g, 108Mbps that reaches to my doorway in my room on the second floor(router is on the first. My computer is 3 ft from the doorway but it can't pick up the signal(I know this because my wireless laptop only reaches to my doorway) So what hardware do I need to allow it to reach my computer???( Preferably made by D-Link) Is there something I can add to the router to boost it's range without buying a new router??? Or is there something that can pick up signals from the router to go on my computer, like a range booster network adapter????

I wonder if getting the Motorola Signal Booster which connects to my cable modem would help...it supposedly makes the signal 32 times stronger, so then I could get as D-Link wireless PCI card to recieve the signal....
