Default Ah, wireless problems

4 computers or so in the house. We have a modem and wireless router (but it's an insecure network). Lately when I double click the wireless icon on the taskbar and go to a sent and received picture the screens are grey rather than blue.

Anyway, we loose connection A LOT. I can't play poker. Or download. Surfing works ok because it seems to come and go for just a couple second (30 tops) but enough to obviously [censored] with poker playing.

Ideas??

Unplugged as in from the wall or from the phone socket? Trying both now though.

Perhaps you should boost its self esteem. An extra compliment here and there...
