We have a Linksys wireless router in the office and a couple of wireless laptops and an Xbox using the wireless connection. These have all always connected extremely fast two or three rooms away, or even outside, until a couple of weeks ago when the modem (DSL) got reset when a storm came through. We set everything back up on the modem and the router, and could connect from two rooms away, but it was extremely slow. If both wireless laptops were connected, you
couldn’t get to anything.
We’ve replaced the router with another Linksys and have tried a DLink, and have switched to cable modem. I’ve replaced the wireless card in the laptop running Win2k. We’ve changed the encryption around different ways, and even tried running with no security…all with the
same results. If we are right by the router, we get 100% strength and can surf super fast…but it drops to 30% or less if we move into another room. The Xbox can not even see the wireless network any longer.
Any ideas on what would be causing this suddenly?
