Hi, Guest
Wireless is a very picky bit to work with... think of wireless signals as being like... well, the rings of Saturn. They radiate out 360(o) around the antenna, but not in a parallel manner in respect to said antenna.
If you're a floor above or below your antenna, you might want to tip it a bit so that it faces where you are. Also, concrete and steel will deflect or absorb some significant amount of signal, depending on the thickness of the object/wall. Wood / drywall will also absorb some, but not as much. The more walls between you and the antenna, the less signal to you. It's like listening to the radio at work... the guys with windows always get a better signal. Wireless networking is just two-way radio broadcasting.
Make sense?
