No Networks Available, Despite Signal Being There!!?!

Not my first problem... lol, ebut new laptop so issues arise, it seems whenever im downstairs more or less equidistant to the router than from my room, i can access internet fine via the router.

But when i sometimes boot it up in my room, it doesn't show the network of our router, so have no means of connecting. Except bizarrely, sometimes it will connect, for instance now, i write this in my room, after coming up from downstairs, and it is fine. But before i went downstairs when booting up, it could not find the network, in exactly the same position, i have a 4 bar strength signal!!!

I don't understand it, but i don't want to have to keep going downstairs to get my internet connection!

The encryption and wireless general settings should be fine, as when connected, the internet runs fine!

Sorry for the wall of text but any more info or advice would really help!

Cheers
James

The wireless signals interfered by some objects, even it matters greatly to your position when u are connected.
Try to check also whether you have some other wireless devices in your home such as microwave oven, wireless phone etc.
