<br>Hello everyone,<br><br>At home I have two laptops: one Apple (recent, with Ubuntu), one Acer Travelmate C300 (few years old, with Win XP, Intel wireless card and software)...<br><br>While I have no problem to connect to any wireless network with Apple, I constantly have issue with the Acer one in my home but not outside.<br>
<br>Sometime, it cannot see some of wirelless networks available and when it can sometime it can connect sometime it can't...<br><br>The only wireless network which it can connect for sure is a 3G network accessible by wireless Three dongle (not connected to laptop). Network is protected by password.<br>
<br>I have a routeur with an alternative wireless network but can't connect to it or if it does, it can't browse Internet :(<br>There is also a public network (without password) available sometime it see it and can connect and sometime it doesn't.<br>
<br>I was wondering if you would have any advice or tools that you would know that could allow me to analyse what the problem is and how to solve it ?<br><br>I am not an expert in wireless. I have tried to change the channels or to force in b or g type... but still same problem occurs... I have tried to use only one access point at a time (the other one shutdown) and one laptop at a time (the other one shutdown) to check if it could be interferences but still same issue occurs !<br>
<br>Any other ideas where the problem could come from ?<br>Why would it work sometime and not others ?<br>I don't see any errors in the logs<br><br>Except for the public access point, the laptops and access points are in the same room.<br>
<br>I hope those short explanation would be enough for giving you an idea of the situation and providing some hint to a solution. Any questions are welcomed.<br><br>Richard L.<br>
