I think we all agree that the problem seems to be with the extender. However, just to be absolutely sure, have you tried the PAP2 in house 1 to verify consistently good performance? If you haven't, you shouild.
Thanks for the tips. As for the extender, I agree that this is the culprit. I think that that signal that the extender is getting and re-broadcasting is simply too weak to begin with.
Yes, I did plug the adapter directly into the router in house 1 and as expected had no problems.
I think I might try a Cantenna aimed at the extender to see if this helps amp up the signal. (What do you think?)
If this is not a good idea or doesn't work if we try it, I will make the calls as you folks suggested to Vonage and Linksys.
A cantenna? The only cantenna I've ever heard of was a Heath company product. It was a dummy load; it absorbed power rather than transmitting it. If the thing you have is actually a directional antenna, it should help, provided you get it aimed correctly.

What you are asking about is a directional antenna. Do a search for directional antennas and you should find some. The only problem is knowing what antenna connector you need. Linksys uses two or more connectors that are very similar.
