WiFi flakiness

[VectraMan]

I used the same product and had the same problems, its a pile of pooh, gave up in the end and just bought the USB thingy, only get probs sometimes with that.

That's good then.

Now it seems to be dropping the connection and reconnecting every now and again. I could understand if it said the signal was "poor", but it's a bit annoying that it goes from "excellent" to not connected and back again.

I'm now using my laptop as a radio.

What I really ought to do is run a phone line into the room I use as an office, put the router in there and connect the desktops via good old reliable wired ethernet and just use wireless for the laptop. I've never been convinced by using WiFi as an alternative.

I always wear a tin foil hat whenever I'm in the house.

I wear them whether I'm inside the house or not.

Things went from bad to worse, and kept losing the connection for long periods. Now I've swapped the Sitecom piece of poo for the Belkin card in the old PC, and it's all working fine.

There you go. Don't buy Sitecom.

What a waste of power. I stick a potato on the wifi antenna and it microwaved by lunchtime.
