[TheForge] Wireless internet connection - OT from blacksmithing

[Jerry Frost]

We have a Linksys wireless router and I'm only about 
30' from the main unit and mine drops out on occasion. 
Not as often or for as long as yours does though. It 
might be the distance or radio interference from 
outside.

When I started erecting my shop radio reception around 
the house and yard went downhill. It started getting 
better when I started putting the skin on it but it's 
still interfering with AM reception.
