I can mysteriously work from the laptop upstairs...which gets 60% signal
from the router downstairs....while my husband is on the devil HP laptop.

We have to totally turn off the desktop down there if he goes online.
Logging off is not enough. I guess DSL is on all the time even if no browser
is active.
In order for me to go online there he has to unplug his unit. Even when off
power off, he crashes me?

Well, my son is upping my RAM for Xmas to 1 gig on that unit. It should help.
This laptop is much faster...but I hate typing on it. blech blech

Thanks curious..if you or anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this, I'm game!!

That is interesting..about the phone filters.. We have no problem with the phone.
Everything was peachy until this upgrade and new unit arrived. And the techies at
the Govt have no clue.
