Network dropping connection-what to do?

brianthebard · 2008-11-12 00:59:38

One of the flat mates has an old laptop and connects to the ntl wireless router directly. Since they started doing this my connection seems to drop off every few minutes at times, depending I think on their usage. What might be causing this and how can I fix it? Thanks.
