wlan issues with iMac G5 (Leopard)

I have trouble connecting to my LinkSys router from my iMac G5 running Leopard. My macBook has no problems at all, my GF's windows box connect fine too.

When I look for available networks my home network shows but when I connect I get connection timed out. The times I can connect it has very low strength, while the macbook i am typing this on has full signal strength and it is on the same desk.

Sometimes resetting the router helps, sometimes it doesn't.

It just seems like the antenna in my iMac is blocked by something, but the only device that is near is my WD myBook drive. And that has been there for a long time, even before these issues started. Otherwise my iMac is not surrounded by any other thing.

I understand my problem is rather vague, I am just wondering what I could do to fix this annoying issue.

Make sure you have the latest firmware on that router.
