| 351350 | 2005-05-02 04:49:00 | There was a thread here about low signal strength on a home wireless lan, and I just noticed this article in the latest PC World. I tried to find it on the online version, but couldn't. It says in effect that CDs act as little signal reflecters and if they are too close to you router they have the effect of weakening your home network signal by deflecting it all over. How about that? |
