    I have a problem for few days now... I have a eircom netopia router, downstairs in my house, and i am using it to connect my computers wirelessly, everything worked fine few days ago but now i cannot connect my macbook, at second floor, it connected fine before but now it wont connect ad if it connect then Internet speed is very slow, i tested connection with istumbler and it shown me 50-60% signal strength, i think its enough to connect and use Internet at normal speed, also i had done research in Internet because i taught its my macbook airport problem, but then i tested my other laptop which is windows, and it has problems to connect either! any experience with issues like this? Maybe its eircom router or macbook, because windows laptops had better connection when i finally connected it... Strange thing is all my laptops finds all my neighbour routers, but mine is in house and they sometimes cant find it!

    When did you last reboot the router?

    Try turning it off for 30 seconds and then turn it back on.

    You might be getting a strong signal, but if there are any other wireless networks in the area, they might be interfering with yours somehow. Though I really don't know how these things work...
