I did change the channel, turned it up to 11. For some reason, the signal strength dropped out some what. We dont use our house phone much, so its not that big of a deal, and I have used the phone and went onto my laptop just to see what would happen, and nothing.
There are 3-4 other networks around my house at this time, but all are secured. Right now, I seem to be having no problem. Is it possible that when my brother turns on his computer, that we are fighting for the same bandwith? Im not 100% on that.
I had a Linksys router before, and it was worse then this. Before it would connect, but I would not be able to actually access the internet. Yeah..dunno. I would have to restart the router or computer constantly. I thought about getting a signal booster, but dont know if thats going to help at all.
