Wireless Router Speed

[mwsmith15]

Hello, I have a cable modem with a 2.4G D-Link Access point and two laptops with 2.4G D-Link adapters. I know that I can get good reception when close, but in the other room reception is not good. Is there anything I can do to speed up this other conection?

Does the WAP have two antenna's? I was able to get better signal strength by dis-allowing send _and_ recieve. So one antenna sends and one recieves.
Hope this helps.
