MN-700 and MN-740 x-box Low Signal

Greetings
Recently got MN-700 and MN-740. MN-700 is hard wired to
two computers and have no problems with both accessing
the internet. Problem is "Low Signal" in connecting the
740 to the 700. Tried changing antenne directions and
channels no change. Distance is about 50 feet, but
through 4 walls, one being concrete block. If 740 and x-
box are moved closer signal does improve. Currently
unable to move it closer. Also the 740 does not ahow up
in my network, but does connect to the 700. Question:
Any way to increase/boost signal or other thing else to
try to improve signal....Kids really want to go Live with
x-box and afraid Low Signal will be a problem.
Thanks
Tony

Your environment with the concrete block wall is a tough one. There
isn't really much you can do here except re-arrange things to be
closer and avoid this wall.
