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.

I have exactly the same problem, except I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment and if I am not within 15 feet of the modem I can't stay connected. Shaw has been nothing short of completely useless in helping rectify this situation, so I have given them the requisite 30 days notice and have signed up with Telus again as in my previous term with them I had zero problems with their product (I left because of their customer service and have found Shaw has fallen down to those same pathetic standards, so I figure if I am going to receive ####ty customer service I might as well at least get a product that works)
