I have a Linksys WRT54G router, it's been set up correctly and for the most part works well. However there are times when I cannot 'see' the network broadcast by the router. However, there are two other linksys routers somewhere in my 'bubble' that are broadcasting and always available. One is a low signal, the other is a good signal, and whenever mine connects, the signal is excellent. (every so often a few other wireless networks are visible, but they come and go).
So, is there a way to make sure the hardware of my router is working properly. If my router is in my apartment, I don't understand why it would fall away while other linksys signals are always recognizable.
My signal will drop when I am 10 ft away from the router in a direct line-of-sight ... while the other linksys signals (I have no idea where they are based) are always visible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, John
