HP 2000 laptop wifi connection problem

[shemp0091]

Im having a problem with my HP 2000 laptop. In order for me to get a good wifi signal I need to sit right next to my wireless router. All other wireless devices work ok all through the house so I know the wifi signal is plenty strong. Is there something I can do, or do i need to contact HP for a warranty claim? My warranty runs out in 3 weeks.

This maybe an interference issue. When you scan for avaialble networks, are there others? Try changing channels 1,6 and 11.
