This has been happening to me alot and I really need some input on how to correct this. Any advice you can give would be wonderful!

Recently I switched to a wireless network and since this switch I have been having crashing issues. When I am standing still I am safe, but sometimes when I walk or move my camera I will crash. It keeps happening more frequently.

Has this ever happened to you? If so please tell me how you corrected the issue.

FYI - My AO does not affect the crashes. I can use it like always and these movements seem to have no affect on my connection.

A friend of mine recently switched to a wireless network, and it seems that her connection is too slow to handle 'busy' environments. The best I could recommend would be to make sure that all your drivers, (motherboard, video, network, etc), are the most up to date available. That would be the first place to start.

There have often been warnings in these forums about using SL over WiFi. Physical cables rule, OK?

and half of it is not wifi

wifi and sl get along great in my house, theres only 2 things connected to it

now take that same thing and connect a dorm on it, rule of thumb being that most users will yank their new wireless doohicky out of the box and plug it in, not touching it until it dies

looking at my apartment complex there 4 on channel 6 (default for 108mb G) 8 are on channels 11 and 12, im on channel 2, by my self

I would look in your manual and see how to check and change your channel if its flooded

also everyone says wireless network but never mentions the type, i have, 802.11G wifi, and clearwire,both are wireless and sl runs fine ... but i know which one to blame when it starts raining
