text: anyone know about wireless internet with a laptop?? well to start we run a wireless router from a desktop computer in our house and we share the internet off of that to 2 other laptops, and i get kicked off line constantly.... or my connection is very weak... what am i doing wrong?? also the other laptop can go for days on end with a strong connection, and my laptop is much newer..... i have had the same problem in the past. i suspect there could be two reasons a) your reception is weak because your laptop is not in the same room as the router, or because objects or walls in your house are blocking the wi-fi radio waves. b) your router is of poor quality.
