Wireless network constantly dropping

[TW]Fox · 18 Dec 2006 at 20:24

Hi all,

Run a wireless network here and have done for ages. Normally works fine.

This evening it's absolutely apalling, dropped connection all the time, and often only reconnects at 1.0Mbps.

Any ideas why? Using a Thomson Speedtouch 580... I'm about 10m from the router but cant see it being the issue as its normally fine. Nothing has changed..

You moved the pc? Or have put something steel blocking the wireless signal?

Do you have security on it? I find if I don't secure my wireless connection it drops all the time and is pretty useless.

Change the channel on your wireless router to something at the other end of the scale to how it is presently set.

not to mention if you don't secure it you are clinically insane.
