I recently got DSL and installed a D Link wireless router to allow my wife to access the 'net and printer from her laptop. I tried setting up a home network with the included software, but it did not recognize the laptop. Then after random fiddling, trying the Win XP wireless network set up, it finally recognized the laptop, which appears in the Network "map" fromt eh software. Unfortunately, it only works on and off. Sometimes the laptop is recognized and can reach the network and sometimes not. We had the local shop test the laptop's wireless card on his network and it picked it up immediately.
Could the router be not working on and off? We're not moving the laptop around, so it's not a positional problem. The router is on the desk with the speakers, monitor, printer, DSL modem. I wouldn't expect intermittent interference.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
