I have a wireless network capable router. Internet works fine through an ethernet cable. However when i unplug that and rely on the wireless network. It fails 90% of the time. Its connected to the wlan just fine. However internet connection seems extremely flaky. If i click 10 links, 1 MIGHT work. 10 google searches, one might come back ok. I cant find any problem, and the sometimes valid connection has me really stumped

Any ideas?

Thanks tech support

Sometimes cordless phones and especially video senders can interfere. You might try changing the B or G modes too
