Linksys Signal Just drops off the map...
I have a Linksys WAP54G wireless router, hardwired connected to one PC ... I then have another PC with a Linksys PCI wireless card connection and a Centrino laptop. At times the secure wireless network that I set up will stop working and when I look for a list of available networks, I find usually a list of about 3 or 4 other networks and mine is no where to be found.
I've changed the channel that I broadcast my wireless on a few times and I've used the laptop a mere 10 ft away from the router (in the same room) and I've still had the network disappear. When it does happen, it's usually for a minute or two, but it's been as much as 15 or longer sometimes.
Usually my connection works fine, except for these annoying drops.
Does anyone have any tips on things I can check or double-check, or settings I can make?
Could this just possibly be from interference? I don't understand how my very close (and always 'excellent' when working) connection can be overpowered by a weaker 'low' connection from some other router in my apartment building.
All the computers run WinXP SP2 ... thanks in advance for any tips!
Best, John
