Without having more info to go on, it's difficult to guess what the
issue might be. The configuration manager software which comes with the
standard "windoz" releases packaged with most kit are next to useless
for diagnosing any problems you might have.
Attempt to locate and obtain some form of diagnostic software which
might assist you in determining what conditions your signals are
experiencing. At the very least, you need to know the signal strengths
of both the RF signals and the associated noise factor, so you can then
know what the signal-to-noise ratio is. Most client managers merely
indicate with some sort of bar-graph what the *relative* rf signal
strength is. That info, by itself, is almost useless.
http://www.thuntek.net/~vguillen/art/stats.png is an example of what
sort of data we're talking about. But even this data on its own is
limited. Obtaining other data, as in this konsole screen shot,
http://www.thuntek.net/~vguillen/art/konsole.png is helpful because it
allows one to know about things like packet transmission retries, etc.
When coupled with the standard data display, like this
http://www.thuntek.net/~vguillen/art/kwifi.png
http://www.thuntek.net/~vguillen/art/kwifi1.png and this
http://www.thuntek.net/~vguillen/art/desktop you can then begin to get
an idea about what your connection/attempted connection is all about.
If you're a windoz user, I'm sure there must be some kind of software
out there, perhaps like Network Stumbler, which might allow you to
obtain this info. There is so much more to signal analysis than mere
signal strength when attempting to diagnose connection problems, and by
and large, the default info given to you on windoz boxes is severely
restricted.
If you're able to obtain more data about your system, then perhaps we
could collectively better assist you here with your issues.....:-)
