We have a home network set up through a Belkin 54G Wireless Router and a DSL modem. Two PC's and a laptop all with Windows XP Pro. One PC, the Router and modem are in an upstairs office. The other PC is downstairs at a computer desk in the kitchen.
This set up has been working well for more than 2 years. Lately, however, the downstairs PC has been intermittently disconnecting from the Belkin Router and either displaying a Peer-to-Peer connection with low signal strength which doesn't allow me an internet connection. Doing a Network Connections "Repair" would usually allow reconnection with the Belkin Router and the problem would be temporarily solved. Now, a new problem has cropped up - intermittently I will get a message of "No Network Connections within Range" and "Repair" or "Refresh" doesn't solve the problem. After some time elapses, the network connection will mysterious re-appear and I'm once again able to connect to the internet - albeit, page loading is very slow. Every time the downstairs PC is disconnected from the network, I'm able to connect to the network via the upstairs PC .
Any thoughts on what may be going on ? Also, any suggestions besides purchasing a new PC to replace the older downstairs PC which I'm seriously considering.
Thanks
Richard
