inconsistent wireless signal
I have a desktop with a Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI adapter, and a laptop
using Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter. Both machines sitting next to each other. My laptop connected to my home wireless network about 2 hours ago and has consistent signal, not once did it drop the connection. My desktop, however, will not maintain signal for more than 60 seconds. Obstructions, I would think, should be equal to both machines. Is there a simple solution, or does it sound like I need a stronger signal? =?Utf-8?B?TjggSA==?= |

Re: inconsistent wireless signal
Hi
Is the Antenna of the Desktop up and above the system hardware, or it is down between the Desktop and the wall? Jack (MVP-Networking).
