Hey guys. i'm having just TERRIBLE wifi reception. unless i'm 8' or less from the router, i can't see ANYTHING at all. I was reading through some other forums and such and they suggest the airport card in the powerbook g4 is a subpar card and recommend swapping it out with an after market card(i have a dell 1390 card, broadcom chipset)
would this help my wifi woes?

Don't tell anyone, after building a couple of Hackentoshes (last winter), I jumped in with both feet.
