The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2200 with a Dell wireless 1370 WLAN mini PCI. It is running XP SP2 as stated previously.

It's not a laptop problem or a problem with the wireless on either device (the laptop or the tower). Now that they are both connected wirelessly if I am losing the signal for 1 I lose the signal for both. It has to be some kind of interference. I still have yet to have a problem since Monday this week. This week no matter what I do I can't shake the signal. I can walk out to the end of the driveway or anywhere in the house or backyard and I still have 5 bars and it's connected at 54 mbps. What's weird is that this problem seems to happen from time to time then goes away for some time.

It seems I tried all 4 routers during this time of affected signal. The next time I have this problem I will get my buddy to bring his laptop and try to connect. With me having trouble with my tower an old laptop and my newer laptop I think I can rule out settings in the computers.

Jeff The Warnings & Cautions discussed in this manual cant cover all possible conditions/situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product.
