Please note, I'm no expert in wireless networking.
I have a main computer running XT that has a Siemens wireless router/high
speed modem that is supplied by Bell, I have another computer in my kids
room that is only about 10 feet away with a wireless card. The compute r in
the kids room is plagued with sudden disconnects from the wireless internet,
and frequently cannot even find the network. I have tried several wireless
cards, both internal, and external USB, and have even tried external
amplified antennas. Several months later, and about 100 calls to various
tech support, still no connection.
NOW HERE COMES THE INTERESTING PART:
I recently acquired a HP laptop, that has a built-in wireless card, and it
immediately connects to the network, without hesitation. I can be in the
kids room or half way down the block, and it still works.
So, considering the fact that I've tried many different types of wireless
cards, both internal, external, using both the internal "slots" and external
USB, would it be logical to assume that the problem must be in the kids
computer????. If so, where should I look?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
