Thanks for the inputs. Damn, I thought that I was close.

My router is indeed aged but has worked perfectly with all devices that come & go here. My Toshiba Lap Top is 4 years old & Blackberry Play Book is 3 years old - both running fine.

Both the Lap Top & Galaxy TAB are within 6 feet of the AA with good signals showing.

My problem is that I'm just not comfortable with playing with routers because I don't know anything about them. The Router Manual might as well be written Chinese for the amount that I can discern from it.

Maybe a new one is in the cards but I can feel my blood pressure rising already, ha!
