Wireless problem

Hello guys!

here is the problem. I bought laptop MSI M655 and mine uncle has wireless points in his house which is right next to mine.and he is fixing computers but he doesnt know what could be the problem here.It worked just great for about 3 months and then it started to block.i mean sometimes it didnt wanted to see wireless signal.it saw it for about 10 hours and then later it stared to work even less and less.now it isnt working at all!

i dont know why,but i cant see a signal and everything is set like it was before and it worked.

i have AMD Turion64 2GHz,radeon X1600 256MB,100GB hard disc,1GB DDR and i am using Ralink wireless program to start wireless.

can someone give me some tip or advice what to do and what could be the problem??

i would be very thankful!thank you in advance!!

ok that other problem is solved,can we now try to solve this one too?

anyone has ideas how to?

 

Yep! looks like the other problem is fixed.

I think there are two likely causes for you problem. If this is intermittent as your posting suggests, then it is less likely to be a setting issue so:

1. It is a signal problem. Something has changed between the two buildings. Was the wireless signal working through winter and early spring, and then start to fail late spring early summer? If so my guess is there are some large shrubs, bushes and trees between the two buildings. Leaves can be quite effective at blocking wireless signals. As there are more leaves in the summer, you get more blocking.

However, it could be something else. Is there anything new been placed between the two buildings? A large metal object or an electrical appliance?

It could even be that a neighbour has added their own wireless network and this is attenuating the signal on your uncle's network.

With any of these causes there are couple of things to do/check. Do you get good signal in your uncle's house? If so, this supports the signal problem between the two houses. If this is the case try changing the channel the wireless system is using. This changes the frequency of the wireless signal and you may find a frequency that is less effected by outside attenuation.

2. If you get poor signal inside your uncle's house, I think you could be looking at a hardware issue. The wireless access point or router could be failing. Check that any aerial connection are OK. Also try repositioning the device in case there is a local site problem. It could also be a problem with your wireless card. Can you try another? One of your uncle's for example. Alternative see if your uncle's computer can get signal OK from your house.

 

well yea its true that it was working during winter and then in 5th month it started to fail a bit and now it isnt working.

but i doubt the problem is leaves and nothing new has been added but i will try to go to the city where is city network with wireless so i will try to catch signal there and if i dont get signal there then it must be something wrong with my computer,right?

 

i done it all but i still doesnt catch wireless signal.

i tried in the town where is local wireless networtk open for everybody and i cant see it (i could few month ago)


so could it be problem with mine wifi card?well it was in laptop when i bought it so can i replace it or smth?

 

well looks like no conflitcs there but still it doesnt work.

well,i will try reinstalling driver and all that stuff.talk to you guys later,i will post if something has changed as soon as i am finished with reinstalling

 

now its working but i am using wireless card from my uncle.so i guess that other wireless card that i got inside the notebook isnt working.now its ok.

thanks for help guys!!!!

 

yea mine uncle did that when we installed that other wireless card and now its all working.i am not getting those wierd msgs and mine comp isnt frozzing when i work on him.that somethimes happened when i started wireless.but now its all fine!!




thanks guys!!!you are great!!
