Can a Packard Bell RF wireless mouse interfere with a WiFi (g) network
to the extent that the mouse stops responding?

If not, what would make the mouse die?

Thanks

802.11g uses a different RF than the mouse system. The most common reason
that the mouse dies is that the AA or AAA batteries die!

Another reason is that the mouse radio channel got changed, try re-setting
the channel by pressing the (tiny) select button near the battery
compartment on the mouse.

True. Whichever brand mouse it is, there's only one such button. Whatever
the label, it changes channels and hopefully solves the problem (though you
could be equally right, it's duff batteries). My money's on the channel
change - he's likely to have changed batteries before posting, as being the
most obvious solution.
Sincerely, Len.

You would be surprised on the number of calls I get because of this. My
client's first response: there are batteries in these????
