Ok bought my few airport(which was extreme) basestation today with my new powerbook(17inch). The powerbook as you know comes with AE installed and I bought an AE card for my powermac(1.42) which Ive had for a while. I set up everything on my powerbook first and get basically 100 percent signal on it from the basestation but then I put in the AE card I bought into my powermac and at first it wasnt even finding the network but now since Ive got it up I only have about 10% signal level. Ive tried shutting down the computer and pushing in the AE card harder but nothing happened and then tried just taking it total out and putting back in again but nothing would work. Anyone have a clue why I have such low signal on the desktop when the base station is right next to my desktop and the notebook is down stairs and has about 100%?
Got a tip for us?

I don't think this would affect it much, but do you have a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone near the PM, or any other kind of signal-transmitting device? Do you have an older apartment or house with lead paint? I know that lead paint has affected the signal reception in my house a lot.

I thought yet another "national" week had been instituted.

We all fire up Airport antennas and blanket the country with 802.11b goodness!
