Hi all Right I have a proper weird problem here, I hope someone can help me sort it out. I visited a friend’s house tonight as he was having trouble setting up wireless internet. The computer was in the kitchen on the floor. (I know this seems like a meaningless comment but it will make sense later) After I had setup the wireless internet, We moved the computer (not the Router) into the office then the signal for the broadband dropped out, when the computer is moved out of the room the Broadband works but when it is in the room it loses the broadband signal, regardless of the location of the router?? It does not make sense to me why the broadband would work in all rooms but this one. The router does not even have to be in the room! There is nothing different in this room other than there is a piano in the room nothing else, I mean this literally as he built the house. The Router is a Belkin one and the computer is an Athlon 64 3000+ 1gb RAM I hope someone can help me solve this problem. cheers Columbo1977 Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.

was the refrig in the line of site between the two? Something is blocking the signal. Wireless phone, indoor water fountain, refrig, washer/dryer, etc can all block radio waves. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

How about a cordless (2.4ghz) phone in the office? It may be effecting the wireless signal.

From the router to where the computer is there is nothing but a wall, the funny thing is the computer connects to the router just fine (I should have said that) it is the router that will not dial the internet when the pc is in that room. The cordless works in there if you take it in there but that is not where it is kept. cheers Columbo1977 Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.

Is it possible there is another wireless network from a neibour that is interfering with the signal? Try changing the wireless channel on the router
