Challenging Intermittent Wi Fi Signal Any ideas ?

May 07, 2010 by billys_office | Posted in Computer Networking

Perhaps someone can help me with sporadic intermittent connection issues
Its on an impatient nube relatives computer
Its in an area with a ton of competing signals
Only one computer of the 4 seems to have intermittent sporadic connection problems
Its a standard G setup on a standard USRobotics Turbo G router
The wireless router is free , clear and unobstructed
The offending computer is in clear view across a living room about 20 feet away
Various channels have been tried that seemed open
Recently the wireless router was set to automatic and somehow it had settled on the congested channel 6 automatically by itself
Even on relatively open channels 1 and 3 similar results occurred
I have swapped in new computers , and new wireless network cards to no avail
I am using WEP 64 for encryption
I have tried moving the router over a foot or so
The wireless is now set to "g only" as opposed to "mixed " ( B and G)
The SSID is not generic
Its a low case computer I have been using generic Zyadas G USB adapters
Any ideas ? The relative is both a nube and relatively dubious that one computer out of the lot can only have these sporadic connection issues
As I said I have changed the computer and done a number of fresh installs to rule out spyware
Reception is a very wi fi dense area of upscale condos and apartments in a clear view highrise that could get any of a number of rogue signals drift in out the blue
Its difficult working with relatives at the best of times I guess.
Time to shove off and move on , still I do not like to leave open problems dangling
Any ideas would be very much appreciated - lest I be seen as a wireless networking incompetent

How do i make my computer into a wireless hotspot?

May 03, 2010 by Touku | Posted in Computer Networking

My computer comes equipped with wireless LAN hardware already: USB Wireless 802.11 b/g Adapter

Stop me now if i have the wrong hardware....

so im trying to make my computer into a wireless hotspot/access point so my PSP, Wii, or PS3 can get access to it, and play online.

How do i achieve this, i've been searching all over google and left stuck.

My internet router is connected to my brothers computers (main network holder?), then a Ethernet cable is connected to my port, and i gain access from their, so how could i use my computer as an "wireless router"

but don't tell me to buy a wireless router, thats not my plan....

You can't. Your laptop's wireless NIC is just that. A Network Interface Card. It's not a wireless base station. It's made to initiate a connection to a base. It doesn't listen for incoming connections.

I'm afraid you WILL need to get yourself a wireless router, or you won't be able to do anything at all.

Not your plan... It was never my plan to get old but shi# happens.
