I rejoiced too soon!

You just won't believe it (or maybe you will).

But after I was able to get Mail and surf the WEB with the Laptop, I shut
it
down, to go to a social meeting. A few hours later when I came back, the
laptop would NOT connect again. Also, the throughput, which was always
10Mbps, dropped to 2Mbps. Why?

Because you are using Wireless and it still really isn't good enough to rely
on.

I still think 802.11a is the way to go.
