-new computer windows 7

-connects with router if in the same room and allows me to walk all over the property and remain connected, streaming etc.

-can't connect from farther away in the house except for really close to the router. It's like windows gives up immediately unless I'm in the same room. Again, once it's connected, it works everywhere. Also, other laptops (win xp) and ipods work no problems from anywhere.

Thanks Torrent and Nibiru. I exchanged the computer on a tip that it may be a faulty network adapter. The new one works fine.
