Any suggestions on how to find the source of new wifi dead-spots in my house? My laptop has never had any wireless connection problems before, but suddenly, I am getting disconnected every couple of minutes. It seems to only be in a couple areas of my house, but it always worked there before, and I haven?t added any new wireless devices. I?ve made sure my settings are correct, and have updated my wireless adapter drivers, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Microwave. cordless phone...? Made any changes to your setup?
Take a look at the Belking Pre-n series, say goodbye to those kind of problems.

Is your signal strength in those areas weak/good or is it constantly changing?Comment

That's my guess too... Don't they make little WiFi detectors for setting up wireless networks and detecting wireless fields?Originally posted by thinkxComment

SP2 is excellent for wireless info. As said before just check all available networks and then try moving things about (phone etc) to see what goes on there.See sig...Comment

Had the same cordelss phn for years, and the wireless worked fine until a week or so ago... that's what makes me think it is something outside of our house.Originally posted by Veterans DayComment

Right, but how do I tell which one of the other networks shown is the culprit, and how to block that interference?Originally posted by thinkxComment

check the signal strength and view which channels they are using, then change your channels accordingly. Alot of manufacturers set their channels to be the same, so if someone nextdoor gets the same brand router, you get interferenceOriginally posted by StewieComment

PS: Good idea to get Vanilla posting this, you know nobody else would get a helpful reply :PComment
