They will tell you placement of the router makes a difference. It is not around any 2.4ghz phone by chance is it?
Are you on a cordless phone when you experience the loss of connection? Linksys does have some info on their site about this, however I have my 24ghz phone right next to my desktop and router and not had that problem yet (thank god). The other machines that have the wireless card, are they running a firewall or something by chance? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/02/03 12:21PM >>> I don't know what the advantage of using a PPPoE is? It's just my understanding that this is what I have, an "PPPoE DSL" connection. It is what I have had for some three years now. It has always been my understanding that this was because I have the less expensive DSL service from my provider, (SBC nee PacBell) that does not provide a static IP, but I am assigned one from a pool whenever I connect. I don't think the DSL is the problem, but I'm not sure. The desk top has no trouble, and maintains it's connection for hours. But the lap top seems to keep disconnecting from the "home Network" I set up. It doesn't just drop the internet, but the entire network, even between the two machines. My first hunch is maybe interference, but I'm not sure what to do about it. When it is connected it says the signal strength is "Very Good" or better. Right now, the wireless distance is only about 8 feet through clear air, no walls or other obstacles. I'm probably going to have to use their customer service, which is supposed to be excellent, but I'm hopping to more intelligently diagnose my problem so that I can talk with them better. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA -----Original Message----- From: Randell B Adkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 8:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: LinkSys G Router Problem Hmmm I just finished setting up my home network using the Wireless B Boradband Router by Linksys. I have a similar setup as you. My main PC is connected to the Router via RJ45 cable. I have 4 other machines (3 desktops and 1 laptop) that are connected via wireless cards. It took it awhile to tweak it right but was able to finally get it all up and running. I have not experienced the connection being dropped. However I am not using the PPPoE connection either. I use the Obtain IP Automatically since I do nto have a static IP for my DSL connection. What is the benefit of using the PPPoE ? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/02/03 11:28AM >>> Ok, I've seen these discussed here before so I though I would get some help and/or information before I hit the LinkSys customer support. At the very least, I should be able to talk more intelligently about the problem. What it the problem you ask? Well I finally got and set up a LinkSys wireless router in my home allowing my desk top and my wife's life lap top to share our DSL PPPoE connection. The desk top is connected directly to the router with a network cable, the laptop is using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card. There are no problems with the desk top, but the lap top is unable to maintain a connection with the network. Keeps loosing the connection after no more then one or two minutes. Usually, almost instantly you can reconnect, but not always. This is quite annoying. Any recommendations or suggestions on what I can tweak that may improve the connectivity for the lap top. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Your ad could be here.
