Hi All
New here.
I do have a question.
I have a actiontec gt704wg wireless gateway.
Vista home premium with Broadcom 802.11b/g
The system works fine most of the time.Between 1& 5pm on some days the signal weakens to almost nothing.Sometimes rebooting helps,and maybe doesnt mean anything.Also have 2 xp pcs that has the same problem at same time.
Thanks

Do wired connections work properly during those times? Have you tried changing the wireless channel? I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.

Hi John Will change it to 6 from 9.
Try it out and let you know.

As I mentioned, the preferred channels are 1, 6, and 11, they're the non-interfering channels in the US. I only use the others when those don't work.
