always remember when having connection issues instead of doing a complete reset as chev65 suggested first try a simple reset of all of your equipment shut off all PC's unplug power to modem and router then plug power back into the modem first let it set a couple minutes in order for it to resync then plug power back into router give it a minute or two then start up your PC's
another thing is more and more printers are now wireless I have had clients trying to connect to their wireless printer for internet lol so if you have one you might try turning it off for a test as well
hmm I appreciate your suggestions. My Dell seems to be working fine with the settings I have right now.
I took the encryption off and the connections seems to working now. I am going to give it another 20 mins to see if it is helping. I had it set to WSP-PSA, I think, before I removed it.
encryption can be a factor I have found over the years that WEP yields the least trouble in that regard
ok the connection seems to be ok now that I removed the encryption. I am going to set it to WEP to see if that works.
Thanks!
no problem good luck!
ok I am still having problems but not as bad, lol.
Could you suggest any bandwith monitoring software that I can use to keep track of what is happening with my bandwith with all the different settings I've had
are you on WEP now what else have you tried or changed
you can use task manager to view bandwidth usage
hmm no I actually didnt switch it to WEP yet. I am still without encryption.
Ok I'll try task manager for the band with monitoring thanks!
