I was going to look on a website just now: strangely this time the laptop
seems to be staying connected for longer and this is the message I got when I
tried to go onto the internet and we get it from tie to time - it will be on
all our computers usually when the internet connection has gone off for some
reason and we're never sure why: does this mean anything to you George because
we don't have any parent control lock on any website we don't know how.

Usually after about 30 minutes this message goes away and we can access the
internet normally.

Hi Mandy,
Yes, if you are in someone else's house, and there is no possibility or risk
that it's using your own wireless connection. Anything above about 100 yards
away from your house is probably a safe bet.
Just about the only option left to test, would be to take your router to
somewhere else away from your home, and try your own router out.
If it still fails, it is clearly the router.
If it does not, then I'm afraid to say that it would suggest there is
something locally causing the problem. From what you describe, you are not
loosing connection to the router itself when you are at home. And so it
appears the router is therefore loosing connection to the outside world.
If it is a broadband router (Sorry if you've already said) it could be
something as simple as a bad connection at the point the phone wire come into
your house. Or it could be somewhere else between house and telephone exchange.
Was the router supplied by Blueyonder? If so, might you be able to persuade
them to swap it?
George.

As I know so little about these things George: if I'm using someone else's
wireless connection wouldn't that automatically mean I am not using my router?
If not what else could the fact that there were no problems with the other
connection suggest considering that when it loses internet connection it still
says it is connected to the wireless network with strong signal?
Do you think any RNIB volunteers would know about wireless networking?
I'm sorry to go on about this you must all be as sick of it as I am.
Any other ideas, also George, about not being able to link onto links in
emails if it's nothing to do with plain text or html? It seems the sane
whether I use Jaws 7 or 8.
Mandy.

If you are also going through someone else’s router, then it does very much
suggest that your may be at fault.

Sorry about this hopefully this will be the last time I write about this
other than getting Steve's help - I am now connected to someone else's network
and it is staying on perfectly well does this prove it's a router problem?
