Maybe you're getting some sort of broad-band interference at 2.4GHz. Do 
you have
any other "wi-fi" stuff that uses that band and still works?  Also, try 
moving either the
sender or the receiver a foot or two.  There can be fairly steep nulls, 
and you may
be in one.  (That's why some of the "wii-fi" gear has two antennas--to 
try and beat
the null problem.)
