I'm 30 feet from the connection to my main computer, but the laptop keeps going in and out - drives me insane! I live in an open concept home, no walls between the signal and me, but there is a large support beam. Since I'm in the kitchen, I can vouch that the only appliance running is the fridge. My cell phone is plugged in across the kitchen further away, and not between the laptop and the router.
It's frustrating enough that I'm starting to rarely use my laptop and yet I had no problem with the signal for the first 3 months of use. The only change was we installed a network encryption for protection - I turned it off when the problems arose, and still the problem persists.
I'm using a Dell, purchased 12/05, with a celeron processor, system is powered by windows XP and it is a factory installed wireless, no access to it. That is the extent of my computer knowledge ; ) Any ideas? Or just too damn bad?
