Hello there,

I am rather frustrated after 1 1/2 hours of phone tech support over the last few days with no resolution... :(

I am currently experiencing extremely poor or completely lost wireless signal in areas where, a few weeks ago, I had perfect signal. And unfortunately those areas are where I need the computer the most. I have a Macbook 10.4 upstairs that receives wireless signal from (it may sound stupid) both a 2wire modem and a linksys router. I have picked up my wireless signal from the linksys for over a year with no difficulty, but all of the sudden I can't get signal anywhere except directly above the router or in the stairway going down.

There has been no recent changes in electronics, so I dont see any way interference is an issue. I have tried every possible broadband channel with no change, I have removed the linksys and worked off of the 2wire (which was worse), I have changes the router position, increased it's power output and disabled SSID. I can no longer reach the IP address website for the router to change its settings for whatever reason, even if I am connected through the linksys. I am completely at a loss as to why this change occurred, and would very much appreciate any help you could give me.

Thank you for your consideration!
