WiFi problem

Please could I have some advice with the following problem?

My BT master socket is situated in a boiler room with no power that is accessed through the bathroom! My SKY connectivity plugged into the extension sockets is intermittent at best. SKY have now told me I have no option other than to get my master socket re-located or to connect via WiFi.
I now have a power lead running through my bathroom with the supplied Netgear router in the corner.I can connect perfect with high signal with my laptop but my PC in the bedroom (5m away) only picks up a very low signal and sometimes fails to connect. Sometimes it connects but will not let me access the internet. I have tried switching router channels etc but there was no change. I think the problem may lie with my wireless card in my PC. I know it's a D-link and at some point I uninstalled it ages ago. I then re-installed it by taking a few lucky guesses and downloading the drivers again etc. Does anybody know how I can find out exactly what sort it is so I can install it correctly? I'm not computer savvy enough to dismantle my pc and start delving inside.
Is there any solution to this?

Cheers.
