again... check if both the APs are broadcasting the SSID.. coz, some times if only one SSID broadcasta nd other is hidden then you always try connecting to the farther AP and may get low signal as well..

Also, make sure you do not have any metal plates or any RF killing things around the AP..

lemme know if this answered your question..

i configured it for batter range.

How did you manage to do this?

What distance are you planning to cover?

Are there any obstacles inside the area you are trying to cover with this AP?

What antenna(s) are currently attached to the AP?

How high is the placement of the AP (from the ground)?
