Overlapping with the neighbours wireless? A wireless channel creates interferance on the channel its set to, and the 2 either side iirc.

No, my missus has got wireless router in the house she shares, she bought a new laptop with built in wireless and the signal keeps dropping out, sometimes after 2 mins, sometimes after 20 mins, totally sporadic.

is this got nothing to do with the dongle that you plug the phone cable and the moderm cable into?

Ok, so if I change the channel on the router, the laptop will automatically switch to 'said' channel?

If it's the wireless signal it could be getting interference from a neighbors router, depending on make/model there should be an option to set the channel manually.


Wireless signal dropping out, no specific time frame either, just one minute working, next gone again. Can I access the router info via this laptop, even though its not the one that configured it in the first place?

What make is it? My girlfriend had one from Amazon which was rubbish - I phoned up for a refund and they didn't care if we sent it back or not. That was over 1.5 years ago and we still haven't sent it back.

EDIT: Just found it on Amazon, they're still selling it :lol:

As above - if the wireless router is operating on the same channel as one of your neighbours, that could be knocking it off.

What could be the causes?

Its in range and has nothing else going through it, just laptop on wireless.
