[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1426798, member: 46727"] First, don't use a dedicated IP address as that will only cause problems. Go back to DHCP. It sounds like you may be in an area where there is interference from other networks. Download the free [URL="http://istumbler.net/"]iStumbler[/URL] application, install it, and take a look at what other networks are in your locale and note which channels they're using. Then adjust your router accordingly. Use a channel that's as far as possible from the others. Make sure your router is broadcasting the SSID (network name). Also, do not use weak encryption (WEP) as it's unstable and not very secure. Use WPA2 and a strong password or phrase. [/QUOTE]
