I have a two story (and basement) home. My base station is in the hall closet putting it roughly in the center of the house vertically and horizontally. It is a first generation airport with no external antenna. Several of my friends own tiBooks and none have trouble with reception on the first floor or outside on the patio. That's anywhere from 30 to 60 feet from the base station. They don't get the same strength of signal as my iBook or new alBook but they can print and surf. They do have varying success connecting when we are in my basement office. When you are elsewhere does your tiBook have similar lousy reception? Have you checked that the card is seated properly? Have you had it back to Apple? What about the basestation? Do you have any wifi visitors who have similar lousy reception? Perhaps it isn't placed well. Have you tried changing the channel it uses? You might be getting local interference. david =========================================================================== The terrible thing about terrorism is that ultimately it destroys those who practise it.
