Verizon Wireless Aircard Issue

[Eyonix]

So I got a desktop and a laptop computer, and when I plug my verizon wireless USB aircard into my desktop, it works great it gets 2/4 to 3/4 bars average, but my laptop gets 0/4 to 1/4 and disconnects randomly all the time. Why is this?

I tried moving my keyboard and stuff for the desktop and I put my laptop as close as I could to the exact spot my desktop sits and it still gets crap signal, but then I take it out and put it in my desktop and its up to 2 or 3 bars again.... Is there anything I can do to make it work better on my laptop?

It's not a crappy laptop either, its an 17.1" Asus gaming laptop.

are they running the same OS? was the laptop plugged in when you compared it to the desktop?

Laptop was plugged in and even in overclocking mode, I also tried it out of overclocking and still same thing. The only differences in the comps are

Desktop is HP, 750gig hardrive, 8 gigs RAM.
Laptop is Asus, 500gig hardrive, 6 gigs RAM.

Both have windows vista home premium.
