[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1044607"] If we're talking about a *wireless* connection to the internet, then the answer is simple: bad shielding is sending out frequency interference that matches your wireless. For obvious reasons, the best fix in that case is replace the monitor. But before you do that, you can do some tests to help determine if that's actually the case: 1. Enable "interference robustness" AND change the wireless "channel" the network uses. 2. Use a different router (preferably an "N" router if you can borrow one) and see if the problem repeats 3. Make an aluminum "cover" for the monitor and see if that makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
