[X4U] Re: Problems with wireless connection

[Richard H Stoddard]

Bluetooth is never on, at home location services are usually off, 3G  
is usually on (now that I usually have wifi off). If I turn on wifi,  
my connection drops instantly. I can restore it by turning AirPort off/ 
on, but it will drop again shortly. If I turn off wifi on my phone,  
the connection will restore and not drop again until I turn on my  
phone's wifi. So it does look like the wifi is the culprit. Why my  
wife's phone doesn't affect it is a mystery.
