Hello, im quite new to this wireless thing so please bare with me, i recently moved from a wired network and moved house and we now have a wireless network.
This is the equipment we have:
Linksys WAG354G 4-Port Wireless-G Broadband Modem Router
3 x Belkin F5D7000UK 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter (NW-007-BE)
Now rite from the word go we havnt had much look with this setup. It seems very unreliable. The computer which is situated immediatly next to the router seems to work fine acesing the internet signal strength at 100%. Now my computer which is about 5-10 metres away from the router (although in another room) has around 40% signal, i wouldnt mind this dip in signal strenth but not only is the strength weaker then expected every 5-10 minutes the connection will just fail, sometimes its more often every minute or so then windows reinitialise's the connection, i play a lot of games and download big files so i can not deal with this being like it is.
I use my Nintendo DS with the router occasionally and whilst in the same room as the router the signal strength is fine.. when u go out of the room or more then 5-10 metres away the strength takes a dive to around 10% (or 1 bar on a DS
) It was my understanding that wireless was capable of 50 metres or more, even from basic equipment.
Wondered if anybody can diagnose my problem or point me in the right direction because this is realllly annoying =)
thankyou in advance.
