My cell phone has no problem. chromecast has no problem. Shifting seats
doesn't make it go away. I'm 20 feet from the router in line of sight.
I'm not in a faraday cage. There are no overlapping channels.
There's no RF voodoo here.

With close distances, it's usually signal reflections, that mess up a

I'm running Fedora/KDE, and I don't see anything called "Airplane mode"

Powerline adapters are illegal in several countries as they pollute the radio
spectrum.
Only good solution is cat6 or fibre and a second accesspoint.

I would have thought so, people do use laptops when they travel.
I kind-of wouldn't expect it on a desktop, though, but the function may
be in all the wireless software.

One room in my house is at the boundary of WiFi reception,
and WiFi occasionally fails there.
When this happens it is nearly always restored by re-booting.
Re-starting NetworkManager never does the trick, however.
Is there any other step I could take, short of re-booting?
I'm running Fedora-21/KDE.
