Hello,
I have a wireless network set up, used to have a NetGear G wireless router, and now have the new Linksys N router. I have 4 different computers, two desktops with the Microsoft USB G adaptor, one Acer with internal Centrino and a Sony with internal centrino. Wired connections work perfectly when using both routers.
This is the problem: when wireless works, it works fine, but connections seem to drop intermittently. I switched the channels used on the new Linksys around, and used the new 'Wide' 40MHz channel settings, and wireless was fine for over a day, but now connections are dropping again. It's not a problem of computers I dont think, because the problem occurs with 4 different computers (although at *slightly* different time intervals): the wireless connection is dropped and the router BECOMES INVISIBLE TO THE COMPUTER. Solution is to reboot or reset router, disabling+re-enabling adaptor does not seem to work. As I said, I dont think it's a router prob either because I've used two different routers already. it MIGHT be interference I guess, but distance does no seem to be an issue...even very close comps have the problem.
any suggestions on what 'channels' or bands I should use to reduce interference? Is any possibility of altering other advanced settings in order to boost the power? Any suggestions on a new router, how about the option of wireless 802.11a with its different band?
ANY AND ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!
thank you,
RG
