dunno.
edit: oh yeah, and the cable company came out and installed a new hard line that runs through the attic. it comes in the house on one end, runs through the attic and then drops down in my step-son's room at the other end of the house. they said because of the splitters we were using that we were actually degrading the signal. guess what? no change with the new connect. f**k it.

See, I don't think it's the cable side that's his problem. He said the wired part of the router works fine, so it's not a supply. It sounds to me like either a) an interference issue or b) an issue with the router's wireless antenna or wireless transmission hardware.
Al, if you have a shorter range antenna you might want to try that.
