wireless mouse interferes with wireless router
I have a Logitech 450 wireless mouse that runs at 2.4Gigabit. I also have a Belkin wireless router that supports a desktop PC and a couple of laptops - that I think runs at the same frequency. Mouse works fine. When I am using the mouse, and one of the laptops tries to log in on the router, "sometimes" the router tries to assign the same IP address from an existing laptop to the new laptop and it errors out. If I stop using the wireless mouse, I never encounter this problem. Can the wireless mouse be causing the router problem? Or is this just a coincidence?

I would change the channel the Router is using wirelessly
Log into the router - goto the wireless setup page
you should be able to change the channel used - try channel 1 or 6 or 11

see if that makes a difference
