Long story short....my folks have an old (really early) 802.11b Linksys that isn't working so well any more. My step-mom is annoyed that her internet connection is so sporadic over the last few days she'll pay whatever to get it back. No time for figuring out the bugs with the current setup, she wants me to just go buy some new hardware at BestBuy tomorrow (yah I know its silly but I dont have the time).
I'm having a hard time figuring out why two of their four computers (which happen to be closest to the router) are having such a difficult time while the others are not. It's a big house and they've got like 5 Panasonic 2.4ghz phones around there so....I'm wondering if this is an interference thing or a range issue. So I'm wondering if I should go for the a/b/g thing for a different frequency...or some routers equiped with MIMO that might help (i'm not sure).
