LOL I feel like a dumbass, it was the phone LOL was too close to the netbook so make interference, I Just tried the netbook in another room and works normally. thanks de todos modos.

Sorry, what I meant was if I enter a hotel or guesthouse with WIFI & the Windows or MAC users can connect without difficulty, I want my linux based aspire one to do the same. As it is, I can stay at 4 hotels where the wifi works and it then decides not to work at the 5th hotel, when I can see other guests using laptops without trouble. I can hardly change the router settings, therefore need a Netbook that can show some flexibility.

Hi Ged. I hope you've found a solution by now. I had exactly the same issue. I'm not sure what cleared it up as I tried a number of things at the same time: 1. Moving things like screens, wireless phone cradles and power supplys away from the Hub. 2. Hub updates happen automatically, one happened recently. 3.

Just a matter of interest - is this router made by Linksys??
