| | Sorry, I don't have much advice for you...but you might try changing your encryption key in case someone is listening in. That rogue channel "11" can be fixed by just changing your to the other direction, say 3 - try to get it on one of the non-overlapping channels available … |

| | Re: Office router Hi Champ, You can keep the other guy off your computer...you'll have to learn something about security but you should know about it if you're going to get a router anyway.

| | Make sure the router is set to "mixed" on the wireless side and you won't have to worry about which Wifi card someone has. Your saying that your getting internet dropouts on both the wired and wireless side doesn't make sense unless the router is bad. It's possible you got … |

| | I've re-read this a few times and the only things that occur to me are to first, once you get the acceptance of the password and get the 0.0.0.0 address, /release and /renew the IP address (I'm guessing, however, that you've already tried that)? That doesn't help your problem with … |

| | Re: help Who installed your card...if you did it yourself, you can try uninstalling it and then re-installing. Otherwise, you're going to have to reload the TCP/ip protocols and you will learn a lot more than you'll likely need to know about your computer if you try it yourself. Not to worry, … |

| | slash49er- Hooking two wireless routers via wireless is not going to work for you. There are some of these units that will allow this but they have two radios. These are much more expensive and normally use one radio at 2.4GHz and the other at 5GHz. Using one radio as … |

| | Hey guys, Not to get in the middle here but shaylyn states that he can get onto the internet at a friend's house THAT HAS WIRELESS. It's probably connecting there with the built in wifi card and not the Verizon card. So it's possible the V card is faulty. Maybe … |
| | Hey pbirks, My daughter's Vista machine did that once until we realized there's an inconveniently-placed button on the casing that turns the wireless card off. Thus a connection to the network at home but no internet! Check for such a button, it that's it, an easy fix... zeroth |

| | Syakoban, Sounds like that Westel2200 is your modem since it has one ethernet connection. You need to get a cheap router to plug in there so you can share the connection. Either a wired router or a wireless router (for visitors or future growth) with 4 wired connections on the … |
