| 785178 | 2009-06-23 21:15:00 | Hi Our wireless network has been running perfectly until yesterday when it will connect and then drop out. This only happens on sharing files between the two PCs however does not affect the internet which also runs wireless. The internet runs perfectly. Any ideas why the sudden drop out on the wireless file sharing but the wireless internet works fine? Thanks for this Nick |

| 785179 | 2009-06-23 21:22:00 | Are one of the machines running Vista? Have you tried updating the firmware for the router? Is it overheating? Does it happen too ALL pcs connected or just one? Cheers Blam |

| 785180 | 2009-06-23 23:28:00 | Hi No it is in Xp. we only have one PC connected. I could try the firmware update although the router is only about 9 months old. Overheating not too sure but it didn't feel too warm Thanks Nick |

| 785181 | 2009-06-23 23:33:00 | 9 months is old, the manufacturer has probably released new firmware. Try that first, and if it doesn't work then we may have to investigate further:) Blam |

Wifi is not allways a reliable network connection method, cable is alot more reliable & sometimes the only fix. 2.4G is a free for all frequency, so allmost anything could be causing interference. Try changing wifi channel on the router(probhably wont help) Run ping -t www.google.com and see if there are any dropouts. |

| 785184 | 2009-06-24 10:49:00 | Is one of the machine going into stand-by or hibernation? | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 785185 | 2009-06-25 02:57:00 | Cordless phone on 2.4G perhaps? Also microwave oven, cordless phones, toy RC's, garage door openers, TV signal extenders, neighbours wifi Damp walls/gib-board/bookcases can block wifi on wet weeks (2.4G is absorbed by water) |
