Cable Forum - View Single Post - Wireless network repeatedly disconnecting

My Dad's wireless network consists of a Centrino laptop and a Desktop with a Belkin router/card combo.

The router is downstairs for the Xbox 360 which works fine as it is wired.

However, although the laptop (which is next to the desktop) has a constant green/excellent signal and never disconnects, the PC reularly alternates from green signal to no network connectivity at all, to limited network connectivity.

The signal is passing 20 feet through a ceiling and as I pointed out before, the laptop has a perfect signal and the desktop has a perfect signal when connected.

Moving the router upstairs solves this problem which suggests a distance problem, but why the green signal when things are ok?

Confused ?!?

Thanks very much.
