Wireless network doing my head in!!!

crocster · Post by **crocster** » January 8th, 2005, 9:52 pm

Ive been on wireless for 5/6months now, and receintly ive been getting disconnected for no reason whatsoever! ... Ive noticed it disconnects when i try download things, or if i play an online game on my other pc.

The hardware im using is a Linksys Wireless-G ADSL/Router (WAG54G). Ive got 1 laptop(wireless) and 1 pc(wired) connected to the router.

This hapens out of the blue, I can be surfing forums for 30mins, and all of a suden it disconnects me... And then it takes either a reboot of the router.. Or playing the waiting game... untill the router decides to let my laptop reconnect to it.. and its getting very anoying,

i allmost threw a cup at my router... So before i do that.. I thought i should ask for some help!!!

hehe

It could either be my router.. or my laptop(its 1month old, toshiba centrino, satelite)

any advice is helpfull... including if you think i should throw this cup at it.... !!!

Thanks =)

update the firmware for the router

does the router get very hot?

try running with the rouer right next to the laptop, does it give you problems then?

adjust the antennas for maximum performance

I have updated the firmware few weeks ago.. didnt make a slight bit of diference tho

... & My laptop is right next to router(about 2yrds away).

Last night i connected it to the wired LAN, and it hasnt disconnected me since(left it on overnite to check).

I would say the router got warm... not exactly hot.

I will try moving my router(as its right next to a wall?) And adjusting the antenna

Its no use at all, it disconnects me for no reason whatsoever,

I was in the other room with the laptop(wireless). And all of a suden i couldnt browse web pages, but my mIRC was on, and so was MSN.

So i have no idea whats going on, Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

Hellllllllllllllllp!!!

I have just went through the same problem except with wired. I am twiddled it down to being my cable modem that has been giving me the problems so I purchased a new Linksys Cablemodem (my old one being a toshiba (bad choice

) and it has been running smooth ever since!
