Moved our cable modem and Linksys WRT54G2 router 30 ft and 3 interior walls away from my desktop that is wirelessly connected via a Linksys WUSB600N USB wireless adapter (the Linksys stuff is about 5 yrs old, dual band 802.11b,g and WPA2 security).
Two other laptops and even the desktop show top notch signal (next to my desktop) at 54Mps and ‘very good’ to ‘excellent’ strength. Both the Linksys and the WinXP wireless network handler software say so, and the linksys shows a 100% link strength. Speedtest.net varies w/ Down/Up speeds of 22/19 Mbps early morning to 6/4 Mbps sometimes, but generally pretty good around 10/10.
Things went smooth for several weeks after the router move, but in past few days, if I hibernate or restart the computer, desktop cannot reconnect, despite the good signal reading on desktop…Unless I go to the router and unplug/plug its power cord - and this works every time.
The XPlaptop connects easy while desktop will not connect at all - like now (again, it won't connect, so I go unplug/replug router, and boom, desktop usb adapter connects)
