Wireless Router Problem
When i leave my comp connected to wireless idle for a while, it will become disconnected or low in connection, which occurs frequently. May i ask why is this so? |

Re: Wireless Router Problem
Could be a variety of things -
Interference with nearby devices, such as phones or Microwaves running at 2.4GHz Someone in close proximity, perhaps a neighbor, issuing the same problem. What is the encryption you are running at? |

Re: Wireless Router Problem
Have you tried changing the channel number that the wireless works on?

Re: Wireless Router Problem
what kind of router is it? some models allow "interference robustness" which will keep safe from most outside interference

Re: Wireless Router Problem
I'd make sure of what Kcnychief said, my friend had a wireless phone stationed on his desk and wireless would sparatically die

Re: Wireless Router Problem
Just try changing it to another number and see if you still get the same problem.

Re: Wireless Router Problem
Yeah routers usually range from 1-11 for channels, with the default being 6 I believe. I have had most luck with 9, but it really depends. I'd give each one a run for it

Re: Wireless Router Problem
Or try an "auto" setting to see if that works. If there is interference on one it should change to another automatically.
