Alright, I'll try to make this short since I normally go on forever. I've been having wireless network problems lately. My main computer is hooked up wirelessly, due to location issues, and actually everything else is too. I've had a bit of problems in the past but it was modem problems.
So the problems started for real about a few days ago, but it had happened intermittently for the past week, essentially since my sister and her boyfriend moved in with me. Her BF has a cell phone with wifi, a netbook, a notebook, and an xbox 360. My sister has an iPhone with wifi. I personally just have my main computer, a PS3, and my laptop. The latter two aren't on that often.
So my problem is that my main computer wifi goes out randomly, meanwhile my sister's BF's wifi still works. My cell phone wifi still works too, as well as my sister's iPHONE. So for a few days I've been thinking it was my wireless connecting piece and I was gonna get a new one.
But my sister tells me today that while it was out on my main computer, her iPHONE had no wifi, and her BF's netbook had no wifi. So now it makes me think its the router. The problem is now I've reset the router and my computer works, but their phones and his computers aren't working, but my phone and laptop are..
So my question is what in the hell could this be? Could the network just be really overloaded with too many things? But it was about this much at where they were before and it worked fine. I honestly don't know lol, can you show me the way?
EDIT:
Alright so, now everything in the house works, but I assume it will only last for a limited amount of time. I'm utterly stumped as to what it could be. A bit more info too: I have reset the router in the past when my main computer didn't have internet but others did, and the problem persisted. I also live in an apartment building. Thanks again.
