When i first received my Shaw Wi-Fi modem (Cisco brand), everything works great and i can access the Wi-Fi all the way to my bedroom on the 2nd floor of my house. My modem is in the basement. Now, it's tough to get connected when i am upstairs in my bedroom with my laptop, my Blackberry tablet and even my nephew's Samsung cellphone. The only one that works upstairs is my HTC Desire cellphone.

I go to the living room and my laptop will work but keep losing connection once in awhile. Blackberry Tablet works sometimes also. I asked a friend/co-worker who lives in the same area and also uses Shaw if he is having problem with the Wi-Fi and he said once in awhile he does.

Does anyone else have the same problem I have? I am wondering if it's just my modem that is a problem. Whether the Cisco model is a crappy modem/router. I used to have the thrid party wireless router from DLink and I never have any problem even after 2 - 3 years old that i have it. I wanted to use another Wi-Fi connection from my DLink upstairs but Shaw won't allow it when you are using their Wi-Fi. It's either I have to disable their Wi-Fi and enable my DLink Wi-Fi or just leave it as is.
