Wireless Client Freezing

[Qualme]

Hi all,
I have hooked up a SageTv Client wirelessly and it works great aside from the fact that if i channel surf to fast it freezes. So I was just wonder if anyone else has this problem, if its just do to it being wireless or if its something else.

Thanks,
Qualme

Lots of questions / suggestions...

Have you tried restarting your router? How strong is your signal? Have you tried setting the router to a different channel? The other thing you can try (if you have not already) is setting a static IP on your workstation; they tend to be more reliable than dynamic IP's. Another thing you can do is make sure your router is positioned in such a way so that the signal is as direct to the wireless workstation as possible without having to go through too many walls and stuff. The fewer the walls the better (the signal travels in a straight line). Yet another thing you can do is get a stronger antenna - they sell them and they are not too much.

You did not say how far your workstation is from the router and how many walls you are going through (or how thick they are) to get to the router. If all else fails, there is always a direct cable. Frankly, I've always preferred a direct cable whenever possible - it's just more practical. You can almost always cable a house pretty easily. I actually ran a cable from my server downstairs - out into the garage and up into the attic and then down into the master bedroom where I attached a hub for all computers upstairs because I didn't want to run several cables but could then easily run the cables from the hub upstairs and still have a solid connection.
