Ive got a wireless adsl router which works fine with the pc its hardwired to but the pc connected wirelessly keeps losing connection from the router. I cant work out if the router is to blame or my usb wireless adapter.
On the router there are lights for adsl connection and wireless connection. These lights flicker almost continuously and im wondering if whatever is behind the flickering lights is causing my wireless pc to lose connection. People suggest upgrading the firmware for my router which I didnt want to do at first but desperation prevailed only to find netgear has a shit website which wont let you download stuff. Not unless its just me pressing my left mouse button incorrectly, thats my kind of luck. See if you can download the firmware....
DG834v3 & DG834Gv3 Firmware Version 4.01.28UK/4.01.27WW
Sometimes the wireless pc can connect to the router but rarely gives me internet access. If I connect to the router for 2 mins im doing good, and if I get net time to load up google im doing really good!
What do you guys reckon, router or usb adapter?
Ive tried plugging the router into the master phone socket (still flickers) and the signal is 5 bars out of 5 all the time. So far its been a waste of £90. All so I could do that message stuff on msn with my sister today.... its too late now!
Something to consider; there is a BT homehub near me which I think I can connect to if I use the password "password" The black lock on my adapter settings page goes green sometimes.... like it does when I connect to my router. There is another netgear router nearby without any lock which when I click "connect" on I get a green lock indicating im connected. I havent had net access through either yet but it can take up to an hour to connect to mine so is my usb adapter ok? The routers in the list never disappear, I just have difficulty connecting to them.
At this rate I think I would prefer not to have the net at all, at least that way I will keep my blood pressure down. I feel I could knock Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, Prince Naseem and the Incredible Hulk out all in one sitting at the moment!
