    Hi everyone,

    I am having issues w/my WLAN for the last few days. It won't pick up wirless signels or it will work and then just stop then not show any wirless signels. I just got a Sony bluetooth mouse and I don't know if the bluetooth is causing the issue w/my WLAN. My Sprint card is working fine and it works there, but I have to keep restarting my computer a few times until it finds my wirless again. Anyone know what might be going on? It happens both at my home and the cafe I go to so it isn't just in one place.

    Thanks,
    John

    Bluetooth and wifi both use the 2.4ghz spectrum so you may get interference, either do not use bluetooth or switch to 5ghz wireless lan

    The 5GHZ nand is faster, but you need to buy a new router that supports the 5HZ N or A band, like an Apple Airport Extreme N...
