Is it just me or the EeePC's wireless is woefully underpowered?

Is it just me or the EeePC's wireless is woefully underpowered?

Just set up a network at home with an el cheapo TP-Link router sharing my ADSL. (Properly secured, nacht.) I have an Acer Aspire 5570Z and an EeePC 1000HD. The Acer's wi-fi connection is rock solid, while the Eee's is flaky as hell, comes and goes on a whim, both in Linux and Windows. Both in the same room as the router.
