I'm guessing it's getting interference somehow? I found something online where you could see all other wireless routers around you and see what channel they are using (to avoid interference) but when I downloaded it on my laptop, it said my laptop wireless card could not be found (which is weird, its a new laptop)

1) are there any other programs I can download that do this?
2) what may be causing this constant blinking of the wireless signal? It used to be solid all the time

Whatever you found has a name?

Some info about your Laptop and it type of card might help too (Unless it is some kind of National Secret)?

Wireless light usually blinks when it transmits and receives.
