hi can anyone shed some light on a problem I am having? My wireless connection on my home network has started dropping connection today. the wired(ethernet) machines on the network are ok. does the ISP have anything to do with the wireless connection or is it definetaly the router that is at fault. all the wireless machines on the network are having thesame problem.
If I reset the router , the connection holds for around 10 seconds then its on and off every few minutes.
any help would be apprecieated

none of the other machines could even see the router apart from the ones connected via cat5. I changed the channel number from auto to 11. Seems to have helped. Thanx Auldy
