I tried the battery incantation, and I am now getting more bars today. Unless I get four bars, I notice slowness in Internet access (512K Earthlink DSL). Other things have changed however, since yesterday. The router is on the kitchen table instead of the window sill. It's still unusable in an adjacent room one wall away. No doubt there are a lot of factors going on, and my results are somewhat inconclusive. I'm still pretty disappointed, as what I want to do is be able to roam the house and get decent access throughout.
