Thanks Michael, We have cordless phones in the house, I disabled them and the base stations and still get the problem. I dont think they use the same frequency anyway.
I live in a neighbourhood that is unlikey to have 2.4GHz phones, and there are only a couple of houses within range. Unfortunately I cant do the 300ft test, but to be honest I need to resolve the issue where the PCs are located. I do have a 9dBi directional, but its too much really and I dont have detachable antennae. I think I will just cable it. I am seeing my arse with wifi. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "R.
