Wireless Help

I will check through the list of other stuff it could be. As I said the strange thing is it all worked well before 

I do find that if I have my phone near the desk this causes problems on occasion. Although its almost impossible to be at my desk without a phone near by. 

The phone may well be interfering. I'd have a go at changing your channel to one, and working from there. Depending on what router you have will determine on how you access the routers page.

For example, I think netgears are the usual 192.168.0.1 and belkins, i believe, are 192.168.2.1

Hope it works pal.

If it does - I usually charge £30.00 per hour, but I'll knock it down to £29.99

Could even be your neighbours using their wireless on the same or 'neighboring' channels, there are only really 3 wireless channels, with a slight variance between each giving the additional channels you see, the main ones are 1, 6 and 11 with two 'neighbors' either side bar channel 1 which doesn't go into 0 or -1 as it's at the start of the wireless frequencies, if  that makes it easier to understand.

Is there a specific time it goes tits or is it random?

If you really wanted, you could monitor things with http://www.netstumbler.com/ whist it's up and working make some notes of the networks you see and channels leave it running for a while and save all the info, and when it goes wrong makes some notes about the wireless network names and channels they're on etc and comparing your notes to figure out which has the least neighbours when it's going tits. but tbh, the home plugs and a network cable to the laptop and/or a wireless cable router should add enough extra network ports (good for network printers, NAS drive etc ) and wireless access for you and cheap enough to set it all up coming in at around £30~ all in for the Home Plugs and a cheap Wireless Cable router, or £15~ for cheap Home plugs and a network cable

Think I will go with the plug socket method!!

One more thing to check - Is it the laptop losing connection with the router or is it the router losing connection with the exchange that's causing the issue? Are all your telephones, sky box etc installed on microfilters?

i refuse to plug my skybox into anything!! 

everything else works fine. I have been told that the router doesnt lose connection with the exchange. It seems to be the connection between laptop and router.

Strange as it started doing it about 30mins or so ago but has been fine since. I even sat on the floor right outside my office and it jumped to 5 bars and worked perfectly!!

How is the wireless connection being made. Is it a USB dongle on the laptop? If so check it's not some power saving mode on the laptop or on the USB port that's powering down
