Hi Hans, >From my personal experience I could recommend you to use any 802.11a ap or wireless router and adapter. Since they work on 5GHz and usually have low range (but still good for my whole apartment) they are not succeptable to 2.4GHz interference. They are also not interferring with 2.4GHz wireless phones and the speed decrese of 802.11a (with theoretical bandwith of 54Mbps) is probably just slightly slower in reality than 802.11g (that have theoretical bandwith of 108Mbps). Which is also only going to affect your computer to computer connection since your internet connection is well below any wireless setup available bandwith. 802.11a also has more nonoverlapping channels so that more computers can be connected without dropping connections (I have 11 computers connected in my office and they all work just fine). You could also buy dual band tri mode (802.11a, b, g) pc card for your notebook so that you can connect with 802.11a at your home and with 802.11b, g at your office of any public hot spot. I hope I helped a bit, Bora Micropower NY [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Needless to say, the airwaves around my apartment are packed. As a result, my wireless signal will often drop out, and I'm figuring the only reason is because of the interference. I've restarted, double checked, etc. my AP (Linksys WRTG54g) and all looks to be fine. If I plug into the AP, it's always fine. I've tried changing channels, but to limited success. On each of the 1, 6 and 11 channels, there are at least 3 other APs. When I switch to a channel in between, signal quality actually looks worse. I've also changed between B only and G only mode, but with little result. So, what can someone do to get a reliable wireless signal in these types of environments? Are there any tips or online resources that describe the advanced settings of the WRT54g that might improve my performance? Any other tips or resources? And, if I were to buy a new AP, would it make a difference, and what would some recommendations be?
