I have a wifi router in the downstairs lounge and a booster in the hall upstairs. Connectivity downstairs on my laptop is good and upstairs in my daughters bedroom is also good. However in the guest room upstairs, which in nearer the booster, the signal comes and goes. I've now cabled the PC to the booster but it still loses the signal and is a bitch to get back again.

What to do, galmi or can someone give me remote help?

I need to have my keyboard on my Dell Inspiron changed (2 of my keys are ****ed) and driving me nuts especially since one of them is the number 2/@. The plastic cover came off when I was cleaning it, we fixed it a few times but it just won't stay in place.

Any ideas where I can take it - I cannot stay without it for weeks and weeks though

Whereabouts are you..i may have a number 2 lurking around in my drawer.

Not sure where to take it....

My number is is still there but very - errrrm wobbly? Expecting it to come off soon too!

I live in Al Barsha 3 just behind the petrol station leading towards the Tecom crossroads.

1) goto start
2) where is says 'start search' in the bottom left, type 'cmd'
3) a block box pops up, type 'ping www.google.com -t'
text will come up looking like:

C:\Users\Chris>ping www.google.com -t

Pinging www.l.google.com [74.125.77.103] with 32 bytes of data:

4) let this run for about 2 minutes, then hit 'ctrl' and 'c' keys at the same time

it will say how many packets were lost, similair to the following:

Ping statistics for 74.125.77.103:
Packets: Sent = 6, Received = 6, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Control-C

Could you please let me know how many loss you have. I am wondering if this is a hardware fault. Do you have Antivirus installed?

Cheers,

Chris

When you say the signal comes and goes do you mean it completely cuts off or just that signal quality is very bad.....
