Wifi - Disconnections when using some applications.

[jammy33]

Hi, I am using a standard Wifi max to network 3 computers. Everything works fine except when I use some applications on the master computer. Newer games such as World of Warcraft or BF2, Silk Road etc will cause the other two computers to be disconnected from the network. The same applies with other simple tasks that don't require much power such as using graphic design programs or simply viewing gifs (However gifs and standard images won't disconnect if I'm viewing them from a webpage).

This has only occurred since I switched to a wireless network, I believe it was fine using wired. I'm guessing it's due to using wifi max which is designed for PsP use and cannot handle the amount of transfer.

Anyhow, I have no idea about these sort of things and hoping you guys could help me out :)
Thanks for your time.

i believe wifi max uses multiple wireless channels to provide a fatter wireless pipe, but the issue is that it causes more interferance the more the signal is loaded.

you may also have other wireless devices (cell phones, wireless phones) or interferance (microwave, flourescent lighting) that could be interrupting the signal. try moving the router closer to the PC's that are losing the connection. if they keep dropping you may have to bite the bullet and move them to wired connections.
