I have a problem, my DSL router shows the "wireless" light and sometimes it doesn't. I connect my desktop to the router via usb but a laptop downstairs connects to it wirelessly. My problem is that i recently purchased a new desktop for another room in my house, and it can't connect wirelessly like the laptoop can. The new desktop is running xp and when I scan for wireless networks, it doesn't show any, but the laptop shows 6 (neighbors, offices, etc.) Any advice on how I can get my DSL router to permanently send out a signal, or how to get my desktop to successfuly scan for networks?

Jump to Postjmm123 is spot on. There are dead spots in every house. The acid test is to take the laptop to the router's room and work the problem out from there.
