I've got the intel centrino wireless card, and it is terrible no matter where I go in my house. Oddly, it works fine in my buddies house, my campus, and my job.
I think it might be a problem with my router, but not everyone in my house has this problem.
That's pretty typical experience once you have multiple computers and routers. You'll experience incompatibility issues between some laptops and some routers. And many times, there is nothing you can do to make them compatible.
I had a HP laptop once. It just won't connect to a primary router on site. The other laptops at the same site connects to that router fine. The HP laptop connects fine to every other router elsewhere. Didn't want to switch the primary router because it may create incompatibility with working laptops (we had more than 5 at the time). So we had to install a secondary router.
But if you have only one laptop and one router, then you have the freedom to switch the internal WiFi card or the router.
