hi from Chiangmai
My new Belkin wireless router is very unreliable, if I close down my macbook then when I start again I usually have to reboot the router to get connected.....(not always).
I have the correct firmware, and reconfigured after installation.
I have moved to channel 11, well away from the other local wireless network on 1.
Sometimes the connection just drops though often runs until I close down.
I have a clue which might point to the answer:
I just came home, opened the laptop, waited.........no wireless signal. (The wireless, adsl and internet lights were on on the router).
Here's the interesting bit......I connected the ethernet cable to the router, the LAN light came on.........but still no connection!! So it's not a wireless problem per se....it's an internet connection problem isn't it??
If I reboot it always connects.
Any ideas??
thanx John
