Linksys B Wireless Router
I'm having issues keeping constant wireless connection with my Linksys B Wireless Router (4 Ports). I've HP Pavilion laptop with built in wireless capability. ISP is SBC. Keeps connection for hours or so then just drops it. Have to reboot Router, Modem, and Laptop to restore connection. Works fine with hardwire connection. Any ideas?
Processor: Pen 4 3.4 Ghz RAM: 384 MB HD: 80 GB GfxCard: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP |

I wouldn't go thru the trouble with wireless routers...just get some cat 5 cable,a few network cards, and run it thru the house..
with a hard wire the information travles alot faster too..

Hold everything! I think I've "sussed" the problem! It's the "flaming" microwave that's causing all the problem. Everytime it comes on, signal drops.
So, I've moved the DSL modem and wireless router to a different room and turned on the microwave and WALA! No signal drop. So the conclusion is anything that emits EMFs (TV, Monitor, Microwave. etc.) influences the wireless connection. Steve, add this to your FAQs somewhere please!! Might save some poor soul's day. |

ive never heard of a microwave messing with 2.4ghz frequency. the way to test and see if that is the case, would be to do a spectrum analysis. Ive had actually been dealing with the motorola canopy 900 systems, and cordless phones actually can interfere with the 906.0-924.0mhz range. Usually to fix the problem you just unplug the base station of the cordless phone while your wireless connection is going, and plug it back in and it picks a less traveled frequency.

iirc microwaves operate in the 2.4GHz band, same as bluetooth, cordess phones etc. pretty funny that the microwave does that
11Mb/s card DD? |

the reason i said is that the exact wireless standard you are using is a factor. 802.11b and 802.11g both run @ 2.4 GHz 802.11a runs at 5GHz so it would not be affected by the microwave anyway the speed doesnt matter (i thought only 11b ran @ 2.4 so that's why asked if you were running at 11Mb/s.) |
