Re: Wireless Connection Problem

Nice to know it's typical I guess. Thought I was going nuts. VERY
frustrating especially when the wife keep asking why it doesn't work :-)

I have an extra one so I will try one of the third party firmware's. Do
you have a favorite of the 3.

Thanks,

Chuck

These Linksys routers can be a pain in the butt to work with. There is
stuff all OVER the net about the problems.

Many of them support third party firmwares like Tomato, DD-WRT, or
OpenWRT that fix a lot of these issues. These third party firmwares
are a great way to get many good features in a home router, without
paying through your nose for enterprise equipment.

Check if your router can run one of these.

Your issue - well, it's typical for WLAN. My suggestion would be to
look at a 5Ghz based Network using 802.11n or 802.11a, as this
eliminates common interferences from other 2.4Ghz users (POTS mobile
phones, Microwave ovens).
