I wanted to make a wireless connection between my laptop (HP pavillion zt1290 with built in WiFi card) and my cousin's desktop (his house is next to mine) - maybe 20 feet away.

He bought a gigabyte Wireless card. We tested a Peer-to-peer (ad hoc connection between 2 computers without access point hub) and while I was in his room the signal was strong, and the transfer of 60mb zip file took 2mins and 20 seconds.

After I took the computer to my place, which is around 70-80 feet away, the connection was lost. So my question is, was the problem in his Gigabyte wireless card (which he returned to the store) or with mine built in WiFi ?

Thanks
