Wired Network fine, Wireless fails
Upon first installing an Airlink101 Wireless N, my bandwidth on the desktop (plugged in), went down. My wireless connection to my laptops run fine for anywhere from 30min-1hr and then drops completely.
I found when I try and re-start the connections on the laptop (sometimes), I'm asked if I want to disconnect from the network, where as on the system tray the wireless net icon appears disconnected.
I live in tech central, with savvy neighbors, I guess I'm naturally paranoid that I have security issues. The other possibility is that my signal strength coming in from the wall is fairly weak. Do wireless routers require a stronger signal then a wired one, to work effectively?
ps. (I've also tested this with a Netgear Wireless N router, same results)
