I was having trouble with just my router so i turned to the internet and this is what i found. I combined it with a new antenna on my PC and my signal is now 5 bars! Much better than a half of one!

I have not encountered and crashing or other negative effects. I just needed a bit of help for linksys website, which was a bit hard to navigate. I ended up leaving their site and using a forum. It turned out my problem was just my silly own mistake...oops. ...
