cheers all the dhcp ip license is 24 hours and the w/l key auth interval is
always 0 (off) the connection is good within a few feet, it's whenit's moved
to somewhere outside of the room, (behind a false wall for example, but
effectively only 6 feet away). We have tried numerous different locations and
setups. The router top of a bookcase on 1 side of the wall and the pc only 4
feet away on the other. I have given up on the quest for wireless as I now
have all my kit local to each other and a 4 port router, but my friend wants
to have household pc downstairs( wired or w/l not bothered), and his pc
upstairs (w/l). The laptops and PSP, work fine and constant upstairs, it's
only the PC. it's not an invalid signal reading in the software cause ping
requsts are getting dropped as well.
Like it's been said, it unusual that this happens so frequently.
Any further ideas are well received. Thanks for all your help.
