Wireless making me think about SMASHING my computer!!!

[wh666-666]

Lol, i shouldnt laugh but i empathise with your insanity as some problems can drive me up the wall as well, i was being driven mad tonight by a grounded mobo, trapped screw, grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Finally found the prob at least!

Anyway, just editing as when i started writing baldy hadnt posted but as baldy said, try using a different wireless adaptor or device to rule that out, once you done that but it is seeing other networks ..............

To get your equipment back up and running try a power reboot of your homehub, if this doesnt help on the back of the homehub there should be a small pinhole reset button, press in while on and then boot your computer. If this doesnt work see below

Initially when it was being intermittent have you checked your connections on your homehub and more importantly down to the phone jack where it plugs in. There should be a microfilter for your phone and homehub before plugging in to the jack on the wall. Check its all connected. If you still have problems try the homehub on its own plugged straight in to the wall, no microfilter or telephone. If it works fine then it should be down to the microfilter (very common to pack up easily, replaced a friends yesterday).

Still doesnt work plugged directly in to the wall? Then plug your filter, homehub and phone all in and call 151 to run a line test. If it doesnt find a fault then it will transfer to the operator, ask them what your gain is set at (usually 2 or 3). Ask them confidently to raise it to 4 or so and they will so long as they've not been chewing on raw meat

Finally if cables available in your area switch as soon as you can, its cheaper, their technicians know what a telephone line/cable line is! (ive unfortunately worked with bt staff/contractors before and know how stupid they can be) and you get better customer service (unlike bt where i had to tell the technician at the local exchange what asdl2+ is, muppet alert!!). Yes anyway as you can tell i dont like bt, you could try technical support from them but it might push you over the edge! Unfortunately all BT customers have to suffer from crap service and inflated prices (prices not their fault and set to change as market share quotas have dropped but i still think cable will always beat them on price)

Give all those steps a try in that order and post if you solve it or still having probs and need further suggestions.
