WiFi problems.
I bought my Linksys BEFW11S4 summer 2002. I have a Centrino notebook running XP. We live in an apartment block and I turned it on and it was great. It worked all over the appartment and it was like magic. I could even use it by the pool several floors down and in the grounds. Great.

Somone else got one and I could see theirs as an available network. No intereference or problems.

Now there are at least four other access points and my wireless connection keeps droppping even in the apartment.

I have changed channels but it makes little difference if any.

I wonder what will happen when there are a dozen or two APs avalailable?

In short it has become a nuisance and only usable for very short periods provided you don't get aggaravated.

In short WiFi is a great toy but useless as a reliable communication system except for very controlled environments.

I'm going to post this on some other threads to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
