It's nice that my landlord put in free wireless, but he really doesn't know what he's doing. The worst problem I had wasn't the T23 itself, but the fact he had the antenna on it pointing out the window! Pointing it inwards helped a lot. Unfortunately I couldn't get him to place it higher (that would involve building a mount or shelf); it still sits on the edge of his dresser.
Another problem was that the slots for the cards on my Thinkpad was on the opposite side from the direction of the router. Much improvement was gained by one of those D-Link USB adapters with a cord that connects the USB plug to the unit. I can place the cord around the back of the laptop and point the actual receiver right at the antenna. This type of adapter has actually gotten bad reviews for having that cord and not being a simple card. Mike B.
