I am just learning a few things about my MacBook but I am having some challenges with the wireless connection. It works poorly if I am not close to the wireless router or when I am connected directly to the ethernet. I am using a Belkin g router and it works fine for my PC. What can I do?

Many of Apple's laptops are notorious for having wireless reception that, compared to other laptops, is weak. It is usually due to the metal casing. Do you have a new aluminum MacBook?
I occasionally have difficulty connecting to *some* non-Airport wireless networks on my Mac (and have had this issue with many different Macs over the past 5 years or so). ("Difficulty" meaning that there is a looong delay in the laptop being able to see the network and slower than expected connection speed.)
Also, some other information that would be useful in helping you troubleshoot:
What type of wireless network (n, g, b)? Any security on the network? OS version.

This is a white MacBook from around mid 2007.
I am using a Belkin "g" router. The Belkin router has a firewall that I am using.

You might want to edit out the serial #. It's not a good idea to post that online.

What could anyone possibly do with a Mac serial number? Falsely report it stolen (wouldn't get the claimant too far unless it actually were)?
