Hi. I have Windows XP and AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless (router and the card). It
worked perfectly for months, but since like 2 weeks, I keep getting kicked
offline and I can't reconnect anymore. It sais, that there are several
wireless connections available. If I choose my default connection, it still
can't connect and keeps telling me that there are several connections
available. Does that mean that one of my neighbour has wlan as well? How can
I fix this problem? Thanks for your help!

Have you power cycled the access point recently? Many devices simply need
to be power cycled every once in a while to restore functionality.

Hi
I just tried it, and it works now. But it could also be, that my neighbour
(i think it's a neighbour who causes this problem) went offline...
Thank you!

When you setup the access point, did you change the default network
name/SSID?

If you neighbor bought the same access point, both of your networks may have
the same name. If the security settings do not match, that would explain a
lot.

You might try changing the channel on your AirPlus access point. Try channel 1,6 or 11. You may need
to experiment a bit.

Hi
I couldn't figure out yet, how to change the channel, but I'll try that.
Thank you for your help!

Hi
I just did change the SSID. It used to be "default" and I now changed it. It
still doesn't work. I also set up the whole modem again, but still not
working...

Le Bummer, so much for the obvious fixes. Let's start at the beginning and
vet out all of the possibilities.

What are the security settings of the access point?
What is the access point model and firmware version?
What is the wireless adapter model and driver version?
What operating system and version are you running?

Hi Jerry
I just wanted to let you know that it's working again. I uninstalled the
whole modem and then installed it again. I don't know exactly why, but it's
working. But thank you very much for all your help!
