Hello I've setup an computer to work as a wired/wireless router and it has been working quite fine. But today I can no longer connect to the wireless network, I get no signal. If I stand about one metre from the router I can get a very weak signal but that is all. How can I determine if it is a hardware or software problem? System specs below:
