Will changing the channel on my wireless router to help w / disconnects?! [d link 614] [hey guys]

Q: just installed by D-Link 614 + router and I connect to MS using an 802.11b USB adapter. I will get the disconnects here and there and its really annoying. I was wondering if setting the channel will improve my connections? The default is 6 . but Im hesistant to change . cuz my setup seems really picky in that if I had all settings I can not seem to connect to my router and I always reset. Any help or suggestions would help. Distance is no problem, my router is just a room away. Thanks guys ~

Yes it will…depending upon what may or may not be interfering with your Ap and client card (if anyhting at all).
I find in my home that channel 3 works best, my negihbors have a 2.4 phone on channel 11 and it kills me when they use it.

Re:It is built in to xp, and it is easy to use that instead of the software you install with the adapter. As pointed out above, it does not always work well, though.

Re:I had a heck of a time getting mine to work properly until I followed DLinks setup. It is pretty detailed and if you follow it you will not have these problems. The main problem seems to be the WinXP "Zero Config option" I just noticed you said you have an MS wireless adapter. Did it come with any software to set up the station ID etc.? Many people on here say to use the zero config option instead of the software that comes with the adapter but I would always get random disconnects untill I disabled that service.

Re:Are you running 98 or XP? And is there anything in your house that also uses 2.4ghz stuff – cordless phones, possibly cell phones? Oh yea one – did your cable/dsl connection come with software that you installed on the computer that is hardwired? I found with my Verizon DSL that for some odd reason or another, whenever I disable the software (some IPmonitor/lan util and Motive Smartbridge) that my wireless connection would constantly drop. It wouldn't matter if the main computer was off, on suspend, etc.

I recently installed XP on the wireless computer and have yet to try running it with the default software turned off though. I've found that XP has better networking/wireless capabilities, so if it's an option try putting XP onto your wireless computer.
