I keep losing my signal intermittently on my Belkin MIMO plus wireless router it constantly goes up and down from 1.0 Mbps to 54.0 Mbps interferring with my connection. The router is connected to my laptop downstairs and a pc upstairs. Also the pc upstairs will only work if my laptop is switched on and its constantly on even though i'm not using it !! Please help.

When you only get 5 mbps are you connecting to the new router wirelessly or via the ethernet cable? If it is wirelessly then try connecting with an ethernet cable and see if you still get 5 mbps. If so then try resetting the router (the procedures for this will be explained in the manual) and re-test. Wireless connections can slow down due to obstacles such as thick walls or other obstacles of that type. If all else fails return the unit and try another.

YES, but you've got to make sure the router is setup for a mixed signal (B and G).

I don't believe when Win98 was around there was a "G" signal released yet ;)

Go to Belkin : Support : Setup Assistant for Routers

Go to www.belkin.com/support download the latest firmware for your router model number
type 192.168.2.1 in the url box in your browser open the belkin router page
left down colum bottom under utilites you can find firmware upadate->browse and locate your downloaded file and upgrade
and under wireless->channel ssid->change channel to 11

Please enter to the router page and decrese the chanel. make it to 6 or 11

u need to download and update the latest firmware available in the belkin's website for ur version.

It's a wireless interference problem. To resolve that, you must change the router's wireless channel by logging in to the router's admin page http://192.168.2.1 you can change it under the Wireless tab. Set the channel to 11 and save the changes. Try to power cycle the router after that.

if your in a metal shed then the best way would be to mount a outdoor type access point to boost signal or just hardwire it

there are many possible reasons and solutions for this
-sometimes the weather can block the signal to a router or PS3
-the closer the router is to your PS3 the better the signal
-try not to have a wall interfering with the signal to the ps3
-a computer in your house may have a signal that is interfering with the signal to your ps3
-maybe comcast just sucks?
-try using a wired connection

Check in your routers settings via your browser that the file transfer speed is no higher than 54 mbps, as it may be set at 108 mbps or 125 mbps as a 'g' type router should be, but your wireless network adapters can only work at 54 mbps and are crashing the transfers.
