Moved my rig, now my connection sucks :(
Yea so, I moved my main rig about 15 feet from the main open part of my basement, into my room, and now my wireless connection is horrible.
My router is on the floor above me in the middle of the house, and I'm in the basement in a corner of the house under the kitchen. The best ping I've been able to get so far is 560ms.
I'm using a linksys WUSB54GS and our router is a home router of some kind, too lazy to go check.
I have been moving my wireless usb device around a bit, moving the antenna and it seems to be very.. picky. I'll move it an inch, and it will go from 600ms to 2500ms..
So I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve my connection. My laptop is in the same room with it's built in wireless and it atleast gets a "low" connection as opposed to a "poor" which my main rig gets.
I've considered a wireless extender or something, but I haven't heard if those really work. And I wouldn't know where to put it anyway.
Help is appreciated and repped

They don't conflict?
Also, I'm wondering how to position my USB receiver thing for the best possible connection. How to aim the antenna, put it up higher? etc etc

Raised my receiver as high up as I could and now it is better, but still not great >
