Our setup has always been a little dodgy; I think it's because I'm fairly close to the hot water heater. I'm looking at getting longer cords and putting the router up much higher, as well as elevating his wireless card, and see if that works. I was reading through the information at the Netgear web site about general positioning of these things. Water and metal objects are a problem.

I'm negotiating my Earthlink email now that I've switched to Charter. I could really do myself a favor by dropping a few email addresses. It has been too tempting to try out new accounts here and there, and then I have to keep track of them. I won't be setting up any at Charter. They're just the onramp to that Internet super highway. :)
