Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can help with the rather strange dilemma I have.

When I had my BB (2Mb then free upgrade to 10Mb) installed some time ago VM only gave me a modem as that was the deal at the time and I had no need for wireless. After some time I got a laptop and so purchased, not through VM, a Netgear WGR614v9 wireless router but couldn't get the wireless to work. If I'm honest I didn't really have the time to look into too much so just left it and used the network ports instead, a bit messy with wires everywhere but oh well.

I recently decided to look into again, did a firmware update and hey presto it worked! However.... it is very erratic and sometimes doesn't seem to want to broadcast the signal.

This is the strange part, my laptop picks up the signal during the day but doesn't see it at all at night. This may be coincidental I guess.

My laptop sees lots of networks every time I turn it on so that side of it is OK.

Would anything interfere with the signal? I only sit a couple of metres away from the router so its not a distance thing. Is the router likely to be faulty even though it does work occassionally?

Its really annoying me now and am tempted to upgrade my BB just to get the VM wireless super hub so at least if there is a problem it's down to VM to fix.

Thanks for any replies.

Joe
