Wireless Problem

    My two computers, PC and Laptop, keep loosing connection to my wireless router. The router has internet access and is broadcasting at full strength.

    I've changed the channels but it still happens. I live in apartments and there are several routers around. But I have "my own" channel and the others are packed between 1-7.

    When I get knocked off, I try to re-connect but it keeps failing, even though the signal has full strength.

    My router is a gicky belkin single antenna router. I may have updated the firmware a while back, should I roll back?

    Any help would be great.

    Have you scanned the wireless activity at your location with something like InSSIDer?

    Does the Belkin have anywhere on it that you can see the wireless connection quality details for each wireless client? Also when you say the router is "broadcasting at full strength", what do you mean?

    That could be your problem right there - Belkin wireless products have a less-than-stellar reputation around here.

    802.11b/g channels overlap significantly. Make sure your chosen channel is 4 (ideally 5) channels away from the strongest neighbouring wireless networks.
