hmm, is your router on the ground or a low table? I would suggest putting the router in the highest place you can...

You mean you can't use detect any signal a room way?
That's weird, because wireless routers by default are able to provide wireless coverage for 2 close rooms. However, you should keep in mind that walls and metal (especially the kind with cement and metal rods) can severely affect the wireless signal. Try repositioning your router. Be careful that the antenna should point straight up to provide the best coverage.

Have you tried changing the wireless channel?

from my experience, the best channel for indoor use is 'channel 1', since we (DSL users) don't need for a high throughput. (Max of 1 Mb/s)

Yes the router is on low table. i will try to fix it on high wall. However i am thinking to use some booster to have good coverage in entire house

Thanks for this suggestion. But i dont know how do u change channels and how do you know which channel you are using..

I do get some signals in the other rooms but they are very week..
Has any one tried to add a boaster or replacing Thompson with another router?
Thanks for all those who responded..

That's weird I have a Thomson router the 585i and it is placed in the center of the house (about 220 m2) and it covers very well all the house and, even at the edges of the house like balconies I still get a good 5 Mbps connection to the modem which is more than enough for our Lebanese DSL, Probably yours is defected.

Does your laptop have built in wireless, or did you buy a usb wifi stick?

Place it on top of a bookshelf. My dad put ours in the center of the home on the wall, and I'm impressed by the coverage throughout the house, and even outside.

As for changing the channel, when I was looking through its web config. it had "auto channel selection" checked by default.

Nadeemm, to change the channel, plz Follow this :

Leave the channel to Automatic. Channels dont have to do with throughput. It affects interference with other routers around.
Just put the modem somewhere it can cover all the house. At 1.75 - 2m height from the ground would be nice.

Or try another laptop or wireless device. Could be not the modem to blame,
