I had similar problems with my Wi-Fi connection dropping and was finally fed up, so I did some research and found the MetaGeek Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer (ONLY $99-$199). http://www.metageek.net/ I ordered the $99 Wi-Spy v1, haven't received it yet, but I suspect that I have a neighbor that is using a 2.4ghz phone (in the Ch 1 range) that is causing my dropped connections.

What a coincidence!

I am in the process of starting the Seattle Homebrew Computer Club in the spirit of the original Homebrew Computer Club. I am still working on the charter. But I envision the Seattle Homebrew Computer Club to provide a forum for men and women, with a passion for computers and computer technologies, to share and discuss their interests, e.g. old computers, hacking hardware / software / routers / coke machines, networking, security, user interfaces, web technologies, and just about everything in between.

I am still looking for a meeting place. Anyone who knows of an inexpensive meeting hall in the Greater Seattle area or would like to help, please contact me at mike@seattlehomebrew.com.
