Hello
I'm trying to install a WiFi network in my house and I am encountering a problem. I have one access point and I want another computer to share internet access. Basically the system works, for a few minutes, maybe 2 or 3, and then the connection is lost. The behavior is somewhat irregular, sometimes it drops out sooner, sometimes later. The remote computer is on a different level of the house so the signal strength reads as "weak" but as I mentioned it does work part of the time and it's pretty fast when it works. I thought that boosting the signal strength might help so I bought a Hawking directional antenna. This does help a little to boost the signal strength that the system reports (it's supposed to give 15 db gain over an omnidirectional antenna) but the connection still drops out. I have tried two different adapter cards (listed below) they behave similarly. Anybody able to hep me with this?
