Computer and Electronics / Router problems...
« on: March 18, 2009, 01:52:44 AM »
Well, I'm probably about the last person anybody expected to see posting here, but I have a genuine computer problem that I need help with. Okay, I just installed a new wired/wireless router yesterday for gram; had to call her ISP and needed help activating it, which is fine. It has a combination of both wired connections (ethernet ports) and wireless... The thing is, it works just fine on her computer; web browsing, MSN, etc. But, with my laptop, it's anything but pleasant... <_< I'm fortunate if I can get an hour of uninterrupted MSN time before it disconnects, and as far as web browsing goes, forget it! I try to load a few pages, and it cripples the connection...
:angry: :unsure:
It makes no difference as to whether I use another ethernet port on the router and hook it up to a wired connection, or use the wireless; it's the exact same result, so there's nothing wrong with the wireless... I did a few tests that way, just to be sure... *shakes head* No difference. So, what's up? Is it something I need to reconfigure on my laptop? (One would think not, since it works fine with my uncle's router at home; wireless or wired, there's hardly a problem at all there...) Austin, I'm looking in your direction.
Anybody else experience things like this before? ![:neutral dino :neutral](https://www.gangoffive.net/Smileys/gof/dino_neutral.gif)
