My desktop has a cheap "compusa" brand wirelss card in it. It almost always shows a signal source as being "low"
My laptop sitting 2 feet away shows a signal source as "very good" what could be the cause of this?

The desktop has a small coaxe cable that I have placed on top of the box under my desk, could moving this have any difference? It has been on the desk and I noticed no difference.

I am getting annoyed by the weak source on my primary computer any help/ suggestions would be appreciated.
