Oh, yeah. Similar experience here, but not so drastic. I'd been using a
wireless router at home, connecting to it from my laptop. A few months
ago, I started being unable to connect. I could see it in the list of
available access points, but I couldn't make a connection. The
neighborhood computer shop let me borrow a new linksys router, which I
set up pretty easily. Still couldn't make a connection. So I returned
that, and brought home a new adapter for the laptop. Same thing. So I
returned the adapter and bought a length of CAT5 cable. That works!
More recently I got a nifty weather gadget for Christmas. This consists
of a main unit with a large display that sits indoors where I can see
it, and a remote unit that sits outdoors and transmits outdoor temp and
humidity to the main unit, which then displays data for both outdoors
and indoors. Nifty, until the indoor unit was unable to receive the
outdoor unit's data.
A couple of weeks ago, the indoor unit found the outdoor unit again. I
haven't done a thing. I suspect that somebody in my neighborhood (garden
apartment-style condo) was emitting RF and has now stopped. I should try
my wireless router again, maybe I can put that CAT5 away!4
