[dba-Tech] Unstable Wireless Netowrk

Have you tried rebooting it? I know I sometimes get a problem with mine, and
I usually solve it by turnig all the pc's off, then the wireless hub, then
the router. Then turn them on in the reverse order...

Donna:

no I think this one is different.  My leading theories are 1) the router is
going flaky and will fail soon, and 2) another wireless network is
interfering.  The strength on the signal meter at the far end is still
'good' to 'very good'.
