    The problems I have been experiencing are really starting to grate. The equipment I have was bought in America by a friend who gave it to me because he had no use for it in the end.

    Would the fact that it was bought in America have any effect. I imagine it wouldn't but thought I would ask anyway.

    Back to the problem. Whats happening is that I keep loosing the connection between my Desktop and the Wirless AP downstairs. This happens randomly with no set pattern whatsoever. If I disable and re-enable the NIC in XP the connection is usually restored immediately. However, sometimes it won't come back at all and the only way to resolve this is to power the router off and on.

    There is usually a Laptop running in the house as well that is wired into the Router. however this has been out of action lately. Previously the connection to the net would drop for it when my desktops connection dropped off, but I have not been able to confirm this recently. Hopefully I will be able to test that tomorrow.


    As for download speeds, they have been very inconsistent. Sometimes I would be getting average rates of 60Kb odd and this tends to drop off big time during peak periods to an extent where even web browsing is noticiebly slow. Obviosuly I cant ascertain whether this is being caused by the problems with the AP or is an IBB problem.

    The best way to check is to plug your pc straight thru ur IBB connection and witht he wireless router out of the picture see how it works then.

    Are you usng xp if so - There are know issues with the allowing xp to manage the wireless connection - so turn it off and use the connection software provided by the wireless card.

    Anyone having problems today? I keep losing the connection to the gateway (i.e. the connection to IBB). Is this just me, or is anyone else having problems?

    Apparently there was a global problem earlier it looks to be sorted now though

    yeah, seems to be grand now. I only noticed the disconnecting for about 30 mins, but didn't affect my downloads that much, so i wasn't too concerned. I assumed it was only temporary, but just wanted some confirmation.
