I have a Linksys b PCMIA in my wife's Dell laptop (W98). It is
probably about three years or so old. The wireless router BEFW11S4 and I
got the two together as a package. The Router is in my desk in my office
and the laptop is on the desk in the kitchen (same floor about 50 feet
away). Over the last week or so, when we turn her laptop on, it doesn't
find the access point (always did before) and when you profile the area,
it doesn't see anything. HOwever, if I take the laptop to my office, it
finds the access point in the profile and I can then hook up and get
access point and internet. When I walk the laptop back to where it goes,
it stays connected to both access and internet.
Sounds like weak signal with a new source of interference. (See list of
possible interference sources in wikis below.)
Needless to say, this
walking it back and forth is getting old. Any suggestions?
Better antenna at one or both ends of the connection.
BTW: I can take my MacBook into the kitchen and it picks up the
access point with no problem.
