I was gonna try to threadjack Mr Blonde's Thread, but decided to start my own instead.
Does anybody know why my entire home network would cut in and out while I have wireless networking enabled? The only thing that I use that's wireless is my DS (or my Wii if the girlfriend wants to do "Everybody Votes"), so having it disabled isn't really that big of a deal, but it's always bothered me. I have WEP enabled, if that makes a difference. I'm a complete idiot about this sort of thing, so it's entirely possible that I'm doing something very stupid here, but I've never been able to find any answers about this online.
And when I say that it cuts in and out, I mean that the connection is just fine probably 99% of the time. My AIM makes a noise whenever it connects, so whenever it makes a noise and I haven't done anything, I know that my network has gone down for a couple of seconds. That, and sometimes pages hang or don't load.
And when it's really bad, my router just craps out completely and I have to turn it off and then on again to get it to work properly.
