Hi Sharon,
I've never tried using wireless connections during electrical storms. We
rarely get those out here in Southern California. I have a hunch, though,
that you may have had a brief power outage while you were asleep. In that
case it may be necessary to turn the modem and router off for about 20 to 30
seconds, then turn them back on. While I was next door having dinner a
couple of nights ago, my apartment building lost power, and when I returned
home and attempted to use the net, I couldn't get on. Recycling the modem
and router's power as I just described brought things back to normal.

Subject: [Braillenote] storms and wireless conections
Hi, I was wondering if storms effected a wireless signal? What happened is
we had a really bad storm here last night, even though we didn't get the
worst of it we still got a bad thunder storm. Before I went to bed last
night I was able to access my internet wirelessly, I was doing this
because it was safer than using my computer in the storm. When I woke up
this morning I wasn't able connect to the wireless at all. Even when I
was standing next to the router there was nothing. This afternoon my
brother and I fiddled around and got it working again but we don't know
why it stopped working in the first place.
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this?
From Shaz.
P. s. For those of you who know me and the Canberra Blind Society, my
place is fine however the Canberra Blind Society will be closed for a few
days. The office didn't suffer any damage but the building did and
clients aren't allowed in at the moment. When I was there today we had no
power. I'm not sure when the office will be opened again it depends on
what happens with the building, its roof came in just like a number of
buildings in Civic. If you would like to be kept up to date let me know.
