Living Wirelessly....It's in the Air...

Well, if you live long enough, you'll experience everything....almost...so they say. Like the time I was ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY sure that a cordless (wireless) phone next to a desktop computer couldn't be causing it to drop the connection to the wireless internet signal in the house. No way! I mean there was another wireless computer just 4' away, and IT had NO problems.

Silly me. 'Expect the obvious and eliminate that first', is the unwritten rule of computer repair. May it be tattooed on my forehead for violating this one. My recommendation? Make sure when you are computing wirelessly that cell phones/cordless phones/radio(s) are not sitting right next to your computer or wireless router; allow six feet or more. Duh!
