Hey all,
As you know, I run on an iMac computer with dual boots of Mac OSX and Windows WinXP. My rig has a built in WiFi wireless system. It normally talks flawlessly with the Motorolla modem/router (both in one) system. However, the past month, I have to restart my wireless system in Windows mode, sometimes continuously, like every 5 min's, and sometimes, not one time in a day, which leads me to think its possibly a next door issue, perhaps frequencies overlapping? I dont know.
To quick fix it, I right click on the Wireless icon on the bottom right tray, select 'View Available Wireless Networks', then 'Disconnect', then 'Connect' again. I have security set in the Modem with password. I think this morning, so far, I have reset it about 8 times.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a work around? Oddly, the system is fine in Mac mode, running in Apple. This has never happened before and only recently started, and no one else in the house has this issue.
I just made an observation. As I was writing this, it went offline, and then went back online on its own, which I have seen it do in the past.
Wierd....
