I'm having an infuriating problem that I don't even know how to talk about. Maybe it's my wireless router (a linksys bought 2 years ago), but my boyfriend (powerbook) is not having any problems, so I kinda doubt it.
Ever since we switched encryption types on our router, my internet drops and drops and drops. I still have full bars in the tool bar, just no functioning isp. This happens no matter what I'm doing, or not doing, online.
I can reconnect 85% of the time by running the diagnostic assistant through the network preference pane. I think that's the weirdest thing. Just running the diagnostic kicks the connection back into line. Sometimes I have to run it two or three times.
I have no problems when I bring my macbook to work, etc. This is a house problem.
As I've said, my boyfriend is having no connection problems on the same router.
Does anyone know what questions I should be asking, or what steps I should be taking, to figure out the solution here?
Thanks,
Sam
