I am looking for some help and not sure whom to ask.

We are a private school of 175 and we rent our facilities, so I can only do so much with wires. The school office has internet through our phone company. We use a Wireless G 2.4 GHZ Broudban Router with a speed booster to get internet access to the classrooms down the hall. The teachers are using laptops.

If a teacher is logged on for too long, the screens seem to flip. Other times signals are lost.

Any suggestions to improve our signals? I don't seem to be getting a lot of helpful suggestions. I may have to call someone, but I would like to have an idea as to what to ask them to do.

Not sure if any of this makes sense..... Thanks.
IT Support I would try to install another router to amplify the signal. It sounds like you may have a bandwidth problem. Can you call you ISP?

Dave I would add wireless access points - we use a single router with 5 wireless access points in a building that we rent. We have 2 floors and two sepearate areas - about 350 students, K- 12. The APs use the same SSID, and a user can move seamlessly between the wireless coverage areas.

East End Long Islander The other suggestion is to add a booster box to your incoming DLS/cable connection -- you need to talk to your provider about this. In my house, that helped dramatically, and I had to move my router and modem to a central location to provide a better signal to my various wireless computers.
