(More) Hi, I am not sure, but I think that I've got the same/similar problem...just with my iPod and iPhone! In my house (3 levels + celler) I use... - FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 (UI) Firmware-Version 54.04.76 (IP 192.168.178.1) My main router, which is connected to the internet and on which all other components/clients are connected to in my home-network. He is located in my 3rd level (office). - DELL TM 2300 (IP 192.168.178.2) Firmware-Version 5.1.1.6(1/31/2004) He is in use as a Wireless Access Point, located in the living room (1st level) and connected through LAN to the home-network (FRITZ!Box). My initial idea was to use the WLAN function of both routers with the same SSID in my house, so I could walk around/up/down with my notebook, which would always connect automaticly with the router with the higher signal strength (e.g. 2nd floor with the FRITZ!Box from the 3rd floor, as the ceiling in the 1st floor is made out of concrete). It did work at the very beginning, as I was installing my Access Point in my living room at the very end and after I saw that it works, I was really happy! I jumped up, got my notebook and run upstairs to check/see how it's going to switch from the DELL to the FRITZ!Box...it worked as I said, but when I got back to the 1st floor, I recognized that the signal strength in my Task Bar got lower...not to say almost to 0! It didn't switch to my DELL. I tried it several times, but without any success. A friend of mine told me then, that he is very sure that the DELL isn't able to do this switching thing...however, the result is, that I unabled the WLAN function of my "better" router FRITZ!Box and use only the DELL to connect my notebook to the network. It works without any problem...so far so good... But after I bought my self an iPod and iPhone, I have problems with the WiFi connection to my Access Point (DELL)! They are connecting perfectly with him, but after a few minutes the connection cuts off and I can't surf the web or in the App-Store of my iPhone/iPod. The only thing I can do, is to unable the WiFi connector in my iPhone and enable it after 1-2 sec. again. After that it works again, but a few minutes later...the same story. So after I read this post here, I thought it might be a similar or even the same problem. I am also using my notebook in my living room...I tried to shut down the notebook and use just the iPhone, but it still has these cut offs!!!! I really don't know what else I could do...of course I thought of buying me a new router/Access Point, but I still don't want to believe that this is it...there must be a solution!? ;) Please let me know, if somebody needs more information, to be able to give me a hand for this problem! Thank you very much in advance... See Ya, Toni
