Laptop brings down wireless network
I have a Belkin wireless router/modem, providing network/Internet access to
my desktop PC and laptop. Both PC and laptop have Belkin 54g wi-fi cards. About 3 or 4 times a day, the laptop brings down the network. I have to reset the router/modem to recover. The network is fine if the laptop is not active. This happens every day. The laptop is normally used in an upstairs bedroom (the router is in a downstairs hall). Any idea why this happens? And, if so, what I can do to eliminate or reduce this annoyance? All machines running XP Pro SR1. Cheers. Bobby |

How does that work on your belkin? |

The Network Connection icon goes red and the network icon has a cross
through it. I have to do a manual reset to get the signal back (which works every time). The dropped signals seem to reduce if I bring the laptop closer to the router. Any ideas? Is this a common wi-fi problem? Or a common problem with Belkin wi-fi kit? Cheers. Bobby "Quaoar" wrote in message ...
