This is particularly a problem on laptops that are running on battery power. Some wireless adapters will go sleep after a certain period of inactivity. In this case, changing the channel to 9 will probably fix the problem. I counted 10 networks sharing the same channel as mine, since all these networks are in proximity to friedchicken I may encounter connectivity problems. Now look in the upper left corner again and pay attention to the channel column. The bottom left corner shows the 2.4GHz network and the bottom right shows 5Ghz networks if you have a dual-band router you might see the same SSID in both boxes. The upper right shows the selected network, in this case, friedchicken. The upper left shows all the wireless networks. The graphic above looks complicated but it’s not so confusing if you see it as four sections. Once you log in, find the setup or wireless section then change your network to another channel.

You’ll probably find a myriad of wireless networks in your area using your channel number. The nice thing about this program is that it lets you visualize all the networks in your area, including your network, and compares the channels they use. It’s available for Mac, PC, or even your Droid if you want. The easiest way to find the best channel is to use a free wireless scanner like inSSIDer. When channels overlap they interfere with each other and when they interfere with each other connections get dropped. If you live in an apartment building or are having connectivity problems in a space crowded by nearby networks then someone else could be sharing a wireless channel with you. The first thing you should do is change the channel from auto to a higher channel. If you’re constantly rebooting the router then here are three tips that will almost certainly fix the problem: But this is beginning to happen more frequently and you want to find the root cause so you can permanently eliminate this problem. Usually, you’ll just get up (or bark at your wife) to reset the router. Then you fire up Spotify and…. bam – you’re unceremoniously disconnected from the web.
You’re feeling sanguine so you load up a few HD 1080p videos on Youtube. Here’s the scenario: you’re sitting on the couch, feet propped on the coffee table with your laptop in hand.
