home network?
I have a network called "Local". Attached to it is a wired laptop and a wireless laptop. My router is a Linksys WRT300N. Since adding my wireless laptop the network, I have had my connection drop on a continuous basis. My connection was fine until then. How do I remove my wireless laptop from the network called "local"? Or is there a way to stay in the "local" network without sacrificing my wireless signal.
Additional info:
2 laptops on the network
Router on 2nd floor of an open layout house
Currently file and print sharing (printer attached to laptop upstairs).
Thank
A.
The laptop downstair was working fine until I added it to the network where I could do file and print sharing.
How do I turn off file and print share and remove my downstair laptop from the network "local".

If you want to turn off file and print sharing,
Start - Network Connections
then click on appropriate network connection type: for you probably (Wireless Network Connection)
then unclick the check box for "file and printer sharing"

Not sure I understand it all Angela, but I think you've already diagnosed the problem. You're not getting the wireless signal to the laptop. Better if you are on the same floor as the router.
