Going to the newest firmware should hopefully fix it. Other possible issues are microwaves and 2.4ghz phones. If you're at the new firmware, and no microwaves or phones, turning off auto rate negotiation and forcing it to 11mb only sometimes works. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
