Hi folks,
I've a very odd problem with my wireless connection at home which has been bugging me for a couple of weeks. I'm using a less well known (http://www.prolink2u.com/self/produc...ess/h9300g.php) wifi g router+modem combo which has all the features a normal one would have.
Everything works fine most of the time. But whenever there's another wifi signal that my notebook or desktop can pickup, my connection to my router is intermittent. In fact, I can't even connect to it most of the time.
The strange thing here is that the signal quality is very good (in fact it's 90 when I do a iwlist eth1 scanning on my notebook). However, when I try to connect to the router via DHCP in Ubuntu, it just doesn't get connected. It hangs at "Configuring Device" when viewed through KNetworkManager's status popup. Using WinXP, even though it seems connected, it times out when I ping the router.
I suspect that it could be wireless interference. I've changed my wifi channel to not clash with the rest, but it's still happening. I've tried channels 1, 2, 3, 11 and 13.
Anyone has any idea what's going on?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
