Pastor Wes,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

I apologize for the issues your are having with your wireless. Below is some information that may help. Please let me know if you are still having this problem

It could be the wireless card itself. The fluctuation could be caused by
many things, but mainly one... signal quality. You may get a strong signal
but the quality may be bad... including interferience... if the router is a
b/g router, and one laptop is using 802.11B and the one you're working on is
using the G you'll have issues. You can also have issues if the two are too
close together and the settings aren't set right. Your wireless card may
have mixed mode protection (if its an Intel card) try going into the card
configuration (the hardware config not the network settings).
Mixed Mode Protection:
This setting can be used to avoid data collisions in a mixed 11b/11g
environment. RTS/CTS should be used in an environment where clients may not
hear each other, CTS-to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an
environment where clients are in close proximity and can hear each other.

Jesse

Thank you for responding, it appears that I do have a Intel pro/wireless 220BG Network Connection. However I dont know how to make the changes you suggested can you tell me how?

Lord's Blessings for your help

pastor wes,

 First try just hooking up the computer that is having the issue without the other 2 systems connected to see if there is an improvement.
