done with it.

Problem solved!!  Maybe.  We'll see.

I switched to channel 4 and it's not only stable (5 hours and counting)  but
lightening fast too.  Boy is my wife happy.  And I go from schmuck to hero
in a nanosecond.

Until some putz across the street tunes his wireless to channel 4.

Seems to me with the proliferation of radiating devices in the wireless
range, it's only a matter of time before the airwaves get too cluttered and
we all have to go back to stringing cat-5 around the house.
