Can someone give me some info please. I have a Netgear DG834G wireless
router and a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Network Card 54Mbps. The laptop
is always used from the same place and Router likewise is always in the
same place. I can be surfing and my strength will drop from 75% to as
low as 35% and then climb up again. Sometimes it doesn't go as low but
it is very often fluctuating a lot while I am using it.
Is it the Router causing the fluctuation or the Network Card. I don't
know where to start looking to improve things. I have had drop so low
that sometimes connectivity has been affected so I would really like to
get to grips with how to find where the problem is. Thanks for any info
you can give me.

It is quite weird. As far as I can tell when it did it about an hour
ago none of the things you mentioned were being used. Sometimes just
slightly moving the table the laptop is sitting on can improve the
signal. Also sometimes just touching the card which is why I wondered
if the card was the problem, often think perhaps I should have gotten
the Netgear card to go with the router rather than the belkin. They were
bought as presents though so I had no choice in the matter.

: Try to ascertain if these signal drops coincide with the use of:

at the
