    Hi everyone,

    I just wanna thank you guys for helping me with my hard drive problems that I had before with my S1, I really appreciate it.

    But now I have another problem, I have a Linksys router SRX400 and whenever my S1 connects to the wireless, the router will have frequent problems maintaining the signal around the household, forcing me to reset the router often. However, when the S1 is not connected via wireless, all the other computers in my house work perfectly fine with the wireless (a Dell Inspiron, and two desktops).

    I find it really odd that only when my S1 connects to the wireless network that problems will actually occur, as otherwise the wireless is fine. I've tried various settings on the router, but no avail. Maybe I haven't tried all of them? I've had my S1 connect to my friend's Bell Sympatico routers and the hotspots at my university and the wireless works perfectly fine.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Might want to update your card's drivers or router's firmware.

    :eek: yes, i got the same problem here.
    Now that I'm in vacations, i tried to play AoE 3 online, but the router losses the signal frequently. And it only happens w/ wireless connection.

    What could it be??

    If your running encryption try turning if off and see if you have the same problem I have seen this before.
