Hi all,

Since about 2 weeks ago, I've started having problems with my home wifi network. It started where my laptop (Compaq X1000 w/XP SP2) dropped my wifi signal and constantly said it was trying to obtain an IP address from the router.

Called tech support and got the usual reset router/uninsall/reinstall drivers etc. Things worked for a bit.

Now however, I'll be connected and then it will lose the signal. I'll have to manual search for the network and it will connect. It has an IP address etc, but I get nothing back from the router. It will then drop the signal a minute later and I will repeat the process several times. Last night I wasn't able to get it working at all.

Other computers in the house seem to connect without problems.

Any suggestions? There's no MAC enabled and no encryption for the time being (just to remove variables).

When it first connects, it usally says the signal strength is excellent. However sometimes I will check the speed and it has dropped to 5.5 from 11. But now even with a strong signal, it doesn't want to work.

Suggestions??? Many thanks in advance.
