Wireless dropouts
which consisted of a router and laptop wireless card. Installed everything at another location and everything worked great. Brought the router home and now constantly lose connection and am only 10 feet away from the router. I've tried channels 1, 6 and 11 as suggested by Linksys but still no go. I'll boot up the laptop, connects fine...then a minute later it just disconnects. We do have a ADT wireless alarm in the house...could this be interfering? Any ideas as to what else I can try (or buy a different product) to get this thing working consistantly? It does sound like interference in your area. I doubt it is your wireless
alarm system as most alarm panels do not operate above the 900MHz freq. Try downloading netstumbler (www.netstumbler.com) and post what your Signal/Noise Ratio (SNR) is. I originally had the same problem you are stating and ended up having to relocate my AP. works fine now. just a thot, hope this helps.

Unfortunately it says no wireless card detected when I start the
program. Show quoteHide quote On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 19:12:11 GMT, "Another Anonymous" <n***@this.time> wrote: >It does sound like interference in your area.

You could try a much better program (free for 30 days to evaluate) Winc by
cirond corp (http://www.cirond.com/) A much better program, and works with windows, and whatever is actually INSTALLED, rather than only certain devices (like netstumbler).

Other possibilities include cordless phones, tv senders. When it disconnects does it reconnect automatically in a few seconds then
disconnect again? Or do you manually have to connect?

It varies...sometimes it reconnects on it's own, sometimes I have to
manually reconnect and then other times I have to reboot the laptop to even 'see' the router. In response to another post, I did update the firmware and no luck. I'll try moving the router around but I have a feeling I'm out of luck.

I was having similar probs on my linksys wrt54g, went to the website, updated the firmware, and it has worked fine ever since.
