Hi
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?
 
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?
 
Have you tried changing the channel number that the wireless works on?
 
what kind of router is it? some models allow "interference robustness" which will keep safe from most outside interference
 
I'd make sure of what Kcnychief said, my friend had a wireless phone stationed on his desk and wireless would sparatically die
 
Just try changing it to another number and see if you still get the same 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 :)
 
Or try an "auto" setting to see if that works. If there is interference on one it should change to another automatically.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
