Weather, electricals, homes, etc all can affect the signal. He could even be having problems with his ISP.

Your best bet is to get a high powered card. You can get better results with one.

Does anyone around you havea cordless phone with a 2.4ghz freq? Those will interfer with wireless networks.

Thats not cool!

I think my phone is the 2.4 Ghz... It doesnt say it on it, but Im about positive...

The way this works. He has the cable router running into a wireless router. His wireless router is in his front window. I have a wireless "access point" in my front window. We both obviously have wireless cards in our comps...

Now a few times Ive unplugged my access point and waited a minute, plugged it back in and its worked. Two times now it hasnt and hes had to do the same to his wireless router...

This is the problem. Any solutions? Im not going to pay $20 a month if I cant use it half the time

I bet either you or someone else either has a 2.4ghz phone or some other item that runs at 2.4ghz that is causing the problems.

My X10 camera I have mounted on my front door, I think is what causes my router to reboot all the time.

Do you know what brand router it is? My g/f has a Belkin and once every little bit (maybe a week or two) or so and you need to unplug the router and plug it back in. Sort of irritating, but at least it's consistent.
