Each religion has got their own way of making you feel like a victim. The Christians say 'you are a sinner', and you better just zip up your trousers and give the money to the pope and we'll give you a room up in the hotel in the sky.

Give us your specs, maybe we can help.

My sister in law had a similar problem, and upgrading the firmware on her netgear router made all the difference in the world. It is rock solid now.

yeah, it is a 2.4.....how can i change it, other than getting a new router? its a d-link 514

For your router and card, there's an option to change the channel to one that causes less interference. It goes from 1-6 (i think). Just make sure they are both set at the same channel.

your system will automatically selec t the right channel. You need to setup the router for a channel. The channels are 1-11 for the US. You need to make sure the channels dont overlap. There are 3 non overlapping channels, which are 1, 6, and 11. 802.11b/g uses several frequencies for each channel. Some channels share frequencies, which causes the overlap.

This is such a pain..My only phone is a 2.4 and whenever I answer..boom..goodbye 802.11..Oh well..My fault for having a 2.4 I guess..
