Wireless Router Issues
 

My signal keeps dropping on my wireless connection. It's a full strength connection even during the drops, and it reconnects a few seconds later... not getting this issue on my ibook from the looks of it... the router is right in the next room - anyone ever have this problem?

Perhaps you have to reset it..Talk to the providers tech support..they will walk you through it

Im guessing just hit the reset switch the back (the one you have to stick a pen in)

Yes but it will go back to default and the tech has to reconize your ip number and set it up

configure your wireless settings via the Wireless cards software.. not the XP wireless configuration thing.. for example, if its an Intel Wireless card, use the Intel software that came with it... i've noticed the XP config drops signals often.

im not going to reset the cable modem, just the wireless router.

honestly, i have been through many, many routers. some wireless, some not, and the best on i have come up with is the D-Link DGL-4300.

this thing rarely drops my signal.

my previous router was a Netgear Rangemax. it couldn't even maintain a wireless signal when my computer was 6 inches from the router.

change the channel
upgrade/downgrade firmware
change drivers

changing the channel usually helps when I fix other peoples setup
