Here's one for you.
Fired the laptop up earlier and started browsing as usual. Things got a bit slow so I checked the connection. Now, the signal was perfect, but the connection speed was not the usual 54mbps that I'm used to, it was 1mbps.
Shortly after, I lost connection totally. Then it came back with 18mbps, which fell to 5.5, then 2, then 1, and then it died again.
When I look for networks it finds bloody loads from around my area (so I guess the lappy's ok), but not always mine. It seems to drop for no reason. The firmware hasn't been updated, no settings have changed, it hasn't had a good kick (yet), so I'm a bit lost really. I think it may be dead... which would be a bit of a shit really.
Anyone got any ideas before I ruin it forever?! :secruity:
Cheers!
