Problem with my NetGear Router...

When I first got my PB this afternoon, I was able to quickly connect to my wireless network. Of course it was only with 2 bars, because the router was on the ground. when i put my pb close to it, i was able to get a full signal. that worked fine for awhile, then i had to head off to work. when i came back home, no matter how close or how i positioned the router or pb, i was only able to get about half a signal at best. Currently I am hardwired into the router, and not able to receive a wireless signal at all. Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?

As you can see from this post and my ipod post, the switch hasn't been all that smooth

Get another router. Netgear stuff is dreadful. I ripped all mine out and put Linksys stuff in instead.

I had a similar problem with my Netgear router before I went Linksys, and it turned out to be the power supply.

You could try using a different channel, just in case there's interference.
