Tuning and troubleshooting wireless networks is a bit of a black art. There is advanced (and expensive) software out there for identifying and resolving issues (like Wi-Spy as mentioned by Spiff). I wish I could afford it. :( The rest of us are stuck with basic troubleshooting techniques, such as disabling possible interference sources. | |

Is it weird though that radio interference would only affect one computer in the house? | |
