I used to play games on that laptop over WiFi and I've never noticed any problems.
I don't have any problems while playing games, either. I played a bunch of TF2/CS:S and it was fine. And most web surfing is fine. It's only when it's downloading a huge single file from the web, or copying huge single files across the local network.
If it's a mini-pci card there will most likely be a way to easily pull it. Look for a hatch cover on the bottom of the lappy.
Yes, it's one of those. I seem to recall looking at it before. I think it had either three or two outrigger plugs on it for antennas or such.
I use a BT mouse on a Mac Mini connected via WiFi all the time and it works just fine.
Me too.
Notably, as a power saver, they both tended to get into a sleep mode, and had to be shaken and clicked till they reconnected. They are also susceptible to being very screwy when the batteries are low.
Understood. That's not what's happening to me, though, it's specifically a jerkiness to the mouse movement rather than a complete dropout, and it's something that I can induce and correct by simply stopping and starting a large file download.
It's more likely that the BT and wifi don't have specific co-existence support, and BT is trampling over wifi or vice-versa. BT hops all over the 2.4GHz band, including all over the frequencies that wifi uses...
Very very interesting. Do you think that perhaps it's this very coexistence support that's making the two devices swap frequencies back and forth?
