Yes I do get two signals.  One at a high 90% and a second at a 10% or
lower.  I left it on for about an hour but the signal did not settle
down.

Usually the wifi pc card connects to the signal which is best for its
reach. 
Now if you are in a location where you got two access points in your
range 
then its try to optimize among the two streams, as the ip address
assigned by 
the access point through dhcp keeps changing and so the reason your 
connection gets lost for every few seconds or minutes.
I faced this scenario at the ketcham auditorium and suposedly it might
be 
looking the access points at ece and ebw. But, after certain time might
be it 
checks for the best connection, I get my signal stabilized. So try
looking 
sometime about 10 min or more and see still you have the problem. 
All my write up above is just the discussion with one of my
communication 
friend about the problem when I had it.
