Has anybody noticed that shared internet connections on wireless networks (at home) really suck? Or at least mine keeps on disconnecting which is very anooying, its not THAT far from the main computer..any solutions to this?

Are you referring to iBurst / UnWired?

I use unwired at church, and shared about 5 computers wired/wireless-ly through a router and they all worked fine.

I dont have a problem with it, how is yours setup? do you have a standard wired ADSL connection going to a wireless router and then the computers all connect to that? or is it a wireless ISP?

EDIT: If its the first one, go into the router config and try turning off the firewall, that usually helps. If that doesnt fix it then I would say there is an issue with the wireless network cards your using or their drivers. We have 6 computers connected to our wireless router, 2 of them have problems. The interesting thing is that the 2 that have problems are identical cards and models, the others are all different and none of them have problems. The even more interesting thing is that the 2 cards that have problems under windows work perfectly under linux. So anyway, make sure you have the latest drivers installed and see if that helps.

I have a wireless access point and it works fine. I get excellent strength throughout my whole house pretty much.
