Have a 2Wire 1701 Gateway DSL/Router, ISP is ATT (SBC) connnected to a Mac G4 running OS10. Have 3 laptops (an Acer, a Gateway and a Compaq) that connect wireless.
Ran fine til last month, now having intermitent problems connecting from laptops.
Either won’t find network, finds and won’t connect, or connect for a while then drops connection. Have changed all the settings (power, channel, etc,), reset 2Wire to factory specs, even sent it back to 2Wire. They tested it and said it was fine. Also tried to hook it up several different places in my house, no luck.
As far as interference issues, nothing has changed except we built a sunroom addition and changed our TV satellite provider from Dish Network to Direct TV and added another cable connection. We have several cordless phones (5.8 Ghz) but they have been in use for 2 years. What else to try?
