In my home network I have an Actiontec Wireless DSL modem/gateway 802.11g,
with Qwest as my provider. I have 2 PC's connecting to it, one laptop with
an SMC wireless PC card, and a desktop with a USB wireless adapter. The
pc's are only 10 to 15 feet away from the actiontec modem/gateway, yet my
connection seems to drop every couple opf minutes on both pc's. Sometimes I
have to disable and then re-enable the connection to get back on...sometimes
they get back on by themselves. I have this set up in an "ad-hoc" network.
I have the latest firmware and drivers on all the devices. Both PC's are
win xp home sp1. Is there possibly some other device in my house causing rf
problems? Like my wireless phone or even my cell phone?
Very frustrating.
TIA
