Well I just got off the phone with another Linksys tech who was more knowledgable. It didn't help, however. My home wired connection works but my wireless still does not.
I do have both a cordless phone and a baby monitor in the bedroom where the AP is. What's the probability these are causing interference? I've turned off the monitor, but it didn't help. The phone is plugged into its base unit, too, but isn't helping.
When I bring up the Orinoco Silver Client Manager, it's showing linksys on Channel 10. Is there a way to force it back to 6? When I change the router to Channel 10 there's still No AP found by Netstumbler on the Orinoco. (I know it's good, I used it earlier to connect at Cup O Joe's AP.) There were a few bars in the SSID chart for the router where a connection must have been temporarily made. The green bars go from -40 down to -95, with red bars beneath going from -95 down to -100. I've looked around but can't find anything explaining the db charts to a dumb newbie like myself.
Any suggestions, oh masters?
PS. I've tried cycling the phone through various channels, but to no avail. The Orinoco still stays on 10, although it sometimes quickly flickers to 3 and then back to 10. Infant receivers are off, but the transmitters are still on (can't wake the kids, it's almost midnight). I should shut the transmitters down too, shouldn't I?
