Problem: My desktop only gets 2-3 out of 5 bars of signal strength.

Set up: My router and modem are in the living room, my office is right down the hall of my apartment no more than roughly 30 ft.

Router is a linksys
wireless card is a rosewill

I can't seem to figure out why my desktop gets only half signal strength but my girlfriends laptop gets full strength. I am thinking that the rosewill wireless card in my desktop isn't strong enough to pick up the signal but with how close it is I don't think it would be an issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions or things to try to improve the signal strength on my desktop?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum...

Always a nice way to start off...:p
Have you tried uninstalling the card and reinstalling.? HAve you tried moving the computer closer to the router or visa versa..?
Or you could try using one of these...It's a wireless repeater/booster
