Thanks Onno,

I've put the laptop right next to the airport and it still doesn't work at the time when it seems to be some kind of interference.

Well, it could be the airport card in the laptop... Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that sometimes the antenna connections come loose.

Also, try turning on 'interference robustness', but if it's not working a metre away then I'd guess something is broken.

Have fun,
Shay
