Re: Limited or No wireless connection

Irregular intervals.
No 2.4 phones.
There are other networks that occasionally show up, all weak signals.
Channel is NOT set to default, I believe I have it set at 6.
Linksys cards are WMP54G, I don't remember the D-link card, (and at the
moment don't want to open the case.) I don't think it is the cards since it
affects both brands the same way. I don't even think it is the router per
se, since this happened with my old router as well. (Fried a circuit on the
old one somehow, one day it just didn't light up) Router plugged into Surge
protector, as is other items, only router went bad.
