This is a problem that I haven't had. The only thing I can suggest is to look at a Range Expander. You can find them on the linksys website. I would talk with someone from Linksys. They have excellent customer service by telephone.

That is why I don't recomend Wireless (To Flakey).. For no hassle networking run a cable... They are more reliable.. I have wired many customers who tried wireless and were fed up..

What about asking your Neighbors to secure their wireless networks? It would be to their benefit to not share all their top secret files with the whole apartment building. While your asking see about resetting the channels of their router so they dont conflict with yours? If they balk show then how you can see all the shared folders on their comps.

There are plenty of ways to expand your range & eliminate the problem. Get an antenna or a repeater that will improve the signal in that room. Circuit City & Best Buy probably have them on the shelf, since wireless has become so popular.

If you look around on ebay or other online placed you can usually find a better deal on the range expander than going to Best Buy or Cirtuit City. They generally charge way too much for those items.
