I agree with Simon's suggestions, Paul. Be aware that your channel
availability might depend on what your neighbors aren't using.
Moving to an 802.11g AP/router might fix the problem, but I wouldn't bet
on it. A different unit might put out a slightly better signal, or have a
slightly better antenna, but that's about your only hope there. Your
802.11b devices won't have any difficulty accessing the device, though.
I would add that, if a different channel doesn't get rid of the dead spot,
repositioning your existing device is probably your best bet.
