I recently had to replace the wireless router that I use to access the Internet from my iPAQ 5455. I was using a Siemens Speedstream 802.11b router and replaced it with a $300 Linksys A+G router. My problem is this: The maximum signal that I'm getting from the router on my iPAQ is only 64% even when I'm right on top of it. I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Linksys technical support but could not increase the signal. They advised me to return the router to CompUSA and exchange it for another. I did this but could get no better signal from the new router. I then purchased a $70 Net Gear 802.11b router. It did a little better--my iPAQ had a 67% signal--but again, that was the best I could get standing right in front of the router and there was a significant drop off (worse than the Linksys) as I got farther away from the router. I have now concluded that the problem is not the router but rather my iPAQ. I have performed all of the WLAN firmware updates and have not yet received my WM2003 update yet, so I'm still running PPC 2002.

Any ideas? Anybody else notice a similar problem?
