I'm having some issues making my laptop pick up on the wireless network that I have in my office. It will recognize that there is a network there, but when i try to connect it will drop it. The weird part is, it will pick up the wireless from the office next door, and the internet and everything works, but the signal is a lot stronger if I were on the right one.

:rolleyes: ...*sigh*...

Any help at all would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!!

It will try to connect to it and drop it?
Do you mean it then says " Couldn't connect to network, Network may be out of range "?
Can you connect to your next door office's network?
Also,.. what kind of wireless reciever do you have, i had the problem of networks being detected, and being well in range ( actually less than 1m away ) then saying "couldn't connect may not be in range", and i found that this was due my reciever not picking up newer types of wifi signal properly until i downloaded a new driver for my reciever.
My first advice would be to download new drivers for your reciever from the manufacturer's website,.. keep us up to date as to what happens.

If you're getting the wireless from the next door office, then it's possible that there is interference causing issues with yours. You could try changing the wireless channel (on the router and laptop) which might help there.

Otherwise are you sure all the security is set correctly? You could turn off security options on your setup until you have confirmed that it works, then turn it back on again.

If none of that makes any difference, it's possible that your laptop's reciever and the router are just incompatible for some reason.

If you look in Authentication settings in your wirless profile you will see a check box that says " Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network"

Try disabling it . Having it checked can cause you to drop connections sometimes :)
