...... because if I can't ever get this working, I'm going to BURN IT ALL!!! :rarr:

Anyways, enough venting. I seem to have the worst luck with anything wireless. My G router got fried somehow (But was working so nicely after Thraxes OCing guide, till my parents set it on the monitor :(), and now my B router is horrid with signal in my house, and thats my main problem. Anyone have a guide on how to get good signal for a wireless network? I seem to have the hardest time getting signal on the other side of my house. Are there certain things I shouldn't have this thing near? Is there a certain floor on my house I should have this thing? It's on my mid floor right now (Which is where all the wireless equipment is) and it works great for my dads lappy, but when I put a PC with an internal card in it in the same room (w/ the lappy), it works horrid!! I must be doing something wrong. Anyone have any tips out there? Magic Ocing stuff for the Linksys B routers, or maybe that I should just be buying D-Link from now on?? I think some of this stuff stems from the thick old walls in my house (Plaster). Anything will help me, I've exhausted almost everything at my disposal now.

    Prolly worth a shot once I get the time to shoot off all the channels. I'm running on 11 right now. I'll try em one by one tomorrow.

    /edit- Actually, theres a thread around here with his new location. Someone found him somewhere else!!

    Do you have any other wireless devices (cordless phones etc) working? You're probably getting inteference. Tell us how the channel changes went.

    Cordless phones in the 2.4GHz frequency operate on a different channel from 11. The 2.4GHz frequency is actually a range of them defined by the FCC. Most phones run on 1-7 in that block.

    Phone interference is highly unlikely.
