Airport Signal strength weak & inconsistant.

I connect to an Airport wirelessly from my MacBook Pro via the internal Airport Extreme card. My signal only works if I'm in a 10' radius or less. And even then It drops the connection sporadically and regularly. I am wondering if the card is no good or is it probable that it's only the antenna?

This problem has been DRIVING ME NUTS! What do i need to replace? (Preferably not the buried antenna.)

Side note: I have full signal strength on my iPhone anywhere in my home.

Please help!

Don't you think we should find out what the problem is first?

Go to your local Starbucks. Get a cup of coffee and hook up to their network and see how it works. Then you can tell if it's your machine or your wireless modem.

So I have full signal strength on my iPhone anywhere in my home but not the computer. And I did try Starbucks. Same thing.
