Is it just mine that drops for about a second every now and then?

your not the only one that is dropping. what is going on is that since there are many people that are tryin to connect to the wireless network in the dome, so to reduece slow downs and stuff like that there is a max number of users that can be loged on for a certian amount of time and that time is for 15 mins. so when there is a line of people tryin to use the net the wireless network is taking the MAC address of all the computers i nthe dome and putting them in que and after 15min or so it looks for the person that has been on line for a while and kicks them out so others can log in. as far as signal strenght, well it depends on where you are in the dome i guess. the futher you are from the access point the weaker the signal gets. im over in the newton divison all the way up on top and i am getting 44mbps speed over here. if i go down to where my team is all the way in the front i go to a connection speed of 18mbps or something like that. so it gets weaker. so i hope that answers your question. and as far as configuring stuff to get online.....you don't need to configure anything its all done automatically by the wireless access point.
