Hi George, I managed to fix the problem by moving the router to the opposite
side of the room which has not only fixed the problem but improved the
connection from good to excellent.
The router is now directly above the room with the desktop and it seems to
prefer it that way.
Thanks Yusuf
Hi Yusef,
Although failure is a possibility, wireless USB sticks do not normally have any kind of "life".
A few things to check/try.
First, has anyone put anything metal, such as a tin, near either device?
Can you even temporarily position the two devices so that there is clear, uninterrupted line of sight between them? Not even a wall.
Have you tried completely powering down everything, and restarting?
George.

Hi, In hope that someone might know the cause and the solution of this problem. Since yesterday I have had difficulties in connecting my desktop to my wireless router. Normally I can get a good signal and speeds usually between 48 and 54 MBPS. But since yesterday I've been getting speeds of between 2 and 24 MBPS and no signal at all.
My question is how can I have no signal when I can send emails and connect to the internet? and more broadly does anyone have any ideas why this problem has suddenly appeared?
I use a wireless USB stick which I've used since around last march. Is it possible that the stick is just coming to the end of its useful life? Yusuf
