Have you given the printer a static I.P. address?

Download Netstumbler (its free), it will tell you what the signal strengths are, and just importantly what the noise is.
Noise cancels out signal, so you want a good SNR - Signal to Noise Ratio.
It will also tell you of any nearby wireless AP and what channel they are on.
You want to be at least 4 channels away from them or they might interfere.
Try different channels and see what gives you the best SNR.

| In reply to the printer question. If you printer is connected to a pc you dont need a static IP address, this is only if it is a network printer. You just need to share the printer on the computer it is attached too.
