Issues with wireless keyboard and mouse
Ralph Wiggum:
Have never had this for my home computer, but bought the combo for relatively cheap. When I fired it up this morning, my wireless internet is completely haywire and won't even connect.
Does anyone know if that's a common problem or a defective product?
Eupher:
I've never had a problem, even with laptops, WiFi, and wireless mice. I've always used LogiTech wireless mice and keyboards (which I use on my tower machine), if that makes a difference.

Confused.
Wireless KB/Mouses are RF or Bluetooth. I have never heard of them being Internet driven.
Is your Internet broke or is it just the KB/M? If just the KB/M then yes they went south. Cheap ones usually last about a year or 2. I also usually stick with Logitech as they have incredible life for a pretty modest price. I have a bunch of LT mice that use the Unifying software (so I swap them wherever is convenient - great when traveling) that have lasted 10+ years (505s/515s).

I think he means that when he plugged the keyboard in, he lost his wifi signal.

Bingo, that's precisely it. Just got home after running a show tonight, and plugged the USB connection in and bang, the internet goes down.
Sorry folks, been a long day and the last thing I wanted to do was dwell on this tech issue.
I'll figure this out tomorrow when I have nothing important to do.
