Wireless network range

Can anyone advise me on my new broadband connection? I've recently gone with orange and they sent me a new router NG1000 which works, but only at close range. I used to be with talk talk but I needed a new router and the one they sent me didn't seem to work so i decided to cancel and get a different provider at a better rate.

The signal strength is excellent when in the same room as the router and the internet seems to work fine but when I move a short distance into the next room it goes to 'very good' but does not allow video streaming and loads up pages very slowly, if at all. I know its not my computer at fault because my friend two doors up lets me use his sky connection and it works fine.

I can plug in the router either into the filter with the telephone or in a separate phone socket and get a connection.

I'm just puzzled as to why I can get my friends connection two doors up but I can't go into the other room with mine!

Any help or suggestions appreciated
