Hello,

I have a network(workgroup) of 4 wireless laptops (2 XP & 2 W2K), a router and a hub. The router plugs into an ISDN point and a hub. The wireless access point then plugs into the hub.

I have set-up everything and it seems fine for a couple of hours then computers keep losing their connection to file shares\ printer shares and the internet.

I shut restart all the computers and it all works again. is it possible that the wireless bandwith is getting used up or something like that?

could the signals collide and confuse the computers?

i would appreciate any advice.

cheers,

jono

Update the firmware in the access point. That should fix the dropped connection problem.
