It sounds like your setup is similar to mine with a computer and router downstairs, laptop with card upstairs. I didnt have any signal trouble with mine at all. My card and router are Dlink and came packaged together. The card is the DWL-G630(ver C2) but I cant remember the router model offhand. I wonder if you had some RF conflict going on that the stronger outut router was able to overcome.
