Other WiFi computer interferes with blakcberry?
So I had a few problems this weekend, all unrelated but caused a nightmare. First I had my main computer die, luckily I did not loose anything. So I ran out and got another computer. Then the next day another computer in the house fried the HD and some parts internally. So that was a loss but was only used for e mail and paying bills so not a big deal.
So while trying to reinstall everything I had lost an important program I use to help with the network, I was stuck with an old version as its not supported anymore. Took 2 days to find the newer versions I was using on all my other computers.
All along I was getting an old laptop setup to replace the one computer for bills and e mail. No luck with the built in wifi. Would connect but not allow internet. So I had an external card and that worked.
I had fiddled around with my router, resetting it to new no encryption as that was the only way to get the laptop to connect. Later I was successful with the encryption on. Once in a while I would test the wifi with my BB on a streaming radio app. I would notice it would not connect.
So to make a long story short it was the laptop. If its on it must block my BB wifi. I have no other devices that transmit wifi. So it must of been that laptop.
My phone was about 5 feet away when this would happen. Could it be a router thing, ip address conflict or does the laptop interfere.
I have a wireless router outside connected to my main router and that would always work with my bb if I walked outside. But near that laptop even the outside connection would connect, just not allow internet to go through.
IS THIS COMMON?
