Is the laptop that is having problems further away from the router than the
other computers connecting wirelessly? If you press JAWS + F11, does it it
indicate that you are connected? My guess is that you are getting
interference. Perhaps you have neighbors that have a router that is
effecting throughput on your connection. You can log onto your router and
configure it to use a different channel. Channels 1 through 11 are
available. Most people leave the default channel set, therefore it can get
pretty crowded. Just try any of the other channels. You will not need to
change anything on any of the computers.
There are other things like some cordless phones or microwaves that use the
same 2.4 GHz frequency and cause interference as well. Try to keep these
devices some distance away from the equipment.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Internet Connection
Hi
We have five pc's connected to a network here and are having trouble with
one laptop in particular not always connecting. It is always erly evening
and will eventually connect if we persist but we may have to wait hor an
hour or more. the laptop shows that it is connected and that signal
strength is good but when we try to connect we get that normal screen
about unable to connect to the internet.
It will work fine all day and we have not messed around with any settings
as far as we know, as i am typing this it will not connect whilst two
other pc's and mine are all connected.
Any ideas what we can try? It seems so odd hthat it works fine for most
of the time except for the early evening hours, especially when all the
other pc's are just connecting fine.
Appreciate any advice.
graham
