my xp laptop sometimes disconnects from the internet,i use a wireless card (netgear wg511t).it then returns a couple of minutes later. the router is connected to my vista pc tower via ethernet cable and i have no problems with the net. the router is next to the pc tower but the laptop is in a room 2 walls away from the router. do i need to get a more powerful router if so which one
ps the router was in the same room as the laptop until a few weeks ago and it worked fine,but the pc tower lost net access when using a wireless usb adapter 2 walls away in another room.

Two walls away, presumably rooms 1 and 3 in a line, shouldn't be a problem. Metal items like radiators and steel cabinets are the biggest enemy.
