Default trouble getting decent internet over wifi in different room

hi guys, this is my first post here.

my setup:-

aol 2 meg broadband,
dlink router dsl-2640b
desktop pc linked by ethernet
acer aspire 1642zwlmi linked by wifi

when i use my laptop in the same room as the routr i get perfect intrnet connection at full speed. when i go out of the room the signal strength drops dramatically and becomes very slow or doesnt work at all.

as the internet is only 2 meg/s shouldnt it still work at full speed at low signal as the transmission speed is always above the internet speed.

another thing to mention is that windows says there is full signal before i connect, but once i do it drops.

can any one help
