I posted this elsewhere on the site but in reply to Guy's post - "Here is some more of the 'incompatible wifi iceberg. I have d-link 11g cards in 4 of my family's PCs. They connect to a 3-com 11g wifi broadband router/modem. Things are not too bad with 3 PCs booted, but as soon as a 4th one kicks the signal strength is report at 0%. The router happily, according to the status lights, says there is a wifi network/ADSL connection. However the only answer is reboot the router and drop to 3 or less PCs. I’ve tried different channels, antenna orientation and voodoo. Forget it if the signal has to go through two 4.5 inch brick walls. In my case, I have the router sitting on a chair in the lounge doorway. Wireless is no answer in a bungalow, and my solution is to use the rj45 port and cables now because I am fed up trying to tweak something that isn’t of merchantable quality. My advice is, unless you have studded walls, leave well alone until a company has designed a system that works in UK houses built before 1960.
