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 :eek:neye:

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.
