what are the brands and models of the router and usb dongle?

And are you running any encryption?

Hi, as I my knowledge tells me it isn't TCL problem, it is the wireless. I have similar problem, I'm not sure your wireless settings, my are fine. I have 3 wireless devices, 2 desktops and a laptop. 1 desktop and laptop work just fine without any problems, but another desktop which is far away from AP has a problem, its connect and disconnect every time cause a poor signal as if I move the desktop close to the AP it works fine.

I see some solutions to solve this problem:
1. Buy a new antenna for my pci card, like this one: Antenna 1 or Antenna 2. For USB I think this one is ok
2. Buy 2 antennas for AP/router;
3. Buy another AP and setup it as AP client and place it as close as possible to the problem desktop

Any other ideas?

Cheers
