Wireless problems :(

[ppb1987]

hey everybody.

I've recently moved into my student house and we have 10 meg cable broadband and are using a hihg-end Belkin G+ Mimo wireless router. However, I'm having problems and seem to be the only person. I've got a Vaio VGN-FS215Z and when I'm in my bedroom, the signal for the wireless is "Excellent" yet I keep getting disconnected intermittantly, often every few minutes, yet the guy who is in the room next to me has no problems at all. He bought a Belkin Mimo wireless card for his laptop as opposed to the built in sony one I have. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing my problem, and if so, any possible solutions which they can provide me with.

Many thanks.

Paul
