    When i bought this notebook (SZ483), it came with a very sucky router.. therefore, my wireless network could only detect to level 3(status: good). However, when i got a better router (Linksys), it still stayed on level 3 all the time. After i moved to another place, then i connect to a different router (Airlink+), but it still stays on level 3. Is it my network adapter's problem? or should i setup something in my notebook? My SZ483 is running windows vista and i bought this in july.

    nah its perfectly normal, my sz430 does the same, and then I had a c260e and it did the same thing. Wireless signal was only at 60% (good). It just a glitch with vista.
