Just a question

I have 3 computers networked wireless. Every once in a while they can't
find the network. I can connect the one close to the router wired to the
router and then it and the other 2 wireless can find the network. I
unplug the wire from that one and then all three will find the network
wireless and they will work OK for a day or so and then have to do it
again. What would cause that? Am I fixing to have a larger problem?

This morning I had to connect the wire up before I could get wireless.
This is the first time I had to do that 2 times in a row. While I had
the wire connected I looked in open network connections and both the
wireless and wired connection was connected. When I unplugged the wired
the wireless still worked. I THOUGHT, in the past if I plugged the wired
in that the wireless become disconnected, not show both connected.

Wrong. Wireless and ethernet are two distinct interfaces. I've seen
problem
with wireless connection like yours when key was not entered in
connection
manager.

Time to learn how to get beyond the surficial. Like, finding out
client IP config,
troubleshooting IP, and reading router logs. If you do that, you can
provide
info such that you can help yourself or others can help.

Google is your friend. And, lotsa good books/articles available.
