messed up airport
ok well before just this past christmas i had a G3 orange imac. our airbort base station thingy is 2 floors up. i rarely got problems with the airport in it.
well after this x mas i got a G5 imac with airport, and i set it up in the exact same place and everything is exactly the same. except for one problem. i cant get internet signal! for temporary time i just hooked up an ethernet cable... and never got around to findin out whats rong. and the thing is, if i put it up stairs in the room that the base station is in, it works just fine.
does any one kno whats rong?
thanks for any help

The antenna that comes with the G5. You will not get a signal untill it's installed.

well it works fine when its close to the airport station.. its jus when its in the basement ( where i use it) it doesnt get signal. and i know it isnt out of range. cuz my ibook G3 works fine down here. its weird
g doesn't get as a good a range as b. That could be the problem. Also different computers get different strengths. My PowerBook gets less good signal than my sisters iBook.
Then some genius suggests that a Sticky be created on this subject. But Genii are always ignored in their own time. Oh wait, that was a Mod. WTF? Where be the stickies at, kind sirs?
