Is the wireless router on the ground or up in the air. If on ground, put in
air on a shelf.

Is he specifying IP's?

Is there anyone else close by with a wifi that they may be going to?

What does their ipconfig show? Is it as being assigned?

Any other RF/EM generating stuff close by? Microwaves?

Have the hardwire ether ports been disabled? If not, do so...yes I know
it's overkill.

Is he in a building with microwave on the roof?

Any way of measuring signal strength at the target PC?

Subject: [PCTECH] Wireless Problem

Hi Folks,



Was talking to a friend tonight and he's having some problems at his
business. He has 4 PC's; one with an Ethernet cable making the
connection and the other 3 have wireless cards. The office is about 600
square feet and open. He said about 6 months ago the ones connecting
wirelessly were dropping intermittingly. He replaced the wireless router
2 months ago and the problem is still around. Some days it's once or
never and other days it's multiple times a day.
