View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Vostro 460 desktop, recently bought, and then realized it would be better to add wireless router. Bought router and a PCIe wireless mini card that was suggested for my PC on Dell order site. The card arrived and am trying to install. The end plate with the aerial socket is not compatible with the removable access blanks in rear of case. Have I been sent an incorrect or unsuitable card, or is there some trick or adapting needed to install this card?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer is not consistent at all with it's wireless speed currently i have a wireless n router running at 300mpbs but it is quite old, i was wondering what was a good wireless card to upgrade my desktop to. I built my own desktop so i'm installing a pcie card won't be too much of a problem, money isn't a concern at this moment. i want something with relatively low ping speeds as well as something that can take advantage of my bandwidth so i'm able to stream hd video

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have one router hooked up to my desktop with one network and it is fine. But we are moving soon. I wont have an issue using the existing network that is in the house, but i figured that since we are moving somewhere where there is already a network, i will have an extra router, and i would love to be able to have that router upstairs in my room so that i can connect my xbox 360 directly to the network instead of buying the wireless adapter. We will have 2 desktops (as we are taking ours with us and there is already one in the house), but i dont know how to go about doing this the easiest way. can i hook my router directly to the existing one and run the cable upstairs? Do i have to set it up so that they are both directly connected to the main computer?

All of my other computers can detect and use the network, but the new computer will not. It's running Windows 7, and as far as I have found, there is no Wireless switch on the actual tower.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy desktop has always been connected via ethernet cable but I'm about to move to the Middle of Nowhere, Alberta and will be mooching off a school's wireless internet that's about 400m away apparently. Not sure if that's door-to-door or not...so it may not actually be 400m away. Anyway, the principal said other people get the internet from the same distance but it's "inconsistent".
View 2 Replies View RelatedA computer in my house is as said a desktop PC, Phenom X4 965 BE, MSI board, HD5670.It is currently on opposite side of the house as the router and connects via Netgear USB adapter, cheap one but got it free. When connected out of 5 or 6 bars, it gets one. If i were to upgrade it to a PCI or PCI-E slot, would i see better connection? Web pages load fine, and i am not sure about DL speeds. I am connected with cable and it is just as fast it seems. I would just rather something a but more reliable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got a (new) Dell Inspiron 570 desktop. It didn't come with a wireless adapter, so I picked up a (new) TP-Link TL-WN781ND Wireless N PCIe adapter. Easy installation, worked immediately. Connection's not perfect, but I get 3 bars from across a house so it's about what I expected.Unfortunately, every little bit the connection drops. Sometimes it comes back within seconds, sometimes it lasts for several minutes; sometimes I won't notice it happening for hours, sometimes it drops every few seconds. There are two other computers on the network that don't suffer connection issues, and I've been able to test with my iPod that it's still connected at the same moment as my Dell is not.I tried updating the driver automatically, which oddly enough installed the driver for an Atheros AR9285, a different wireless adapter; and although everything seemed to still be working I gave it long enough to make sure the problem was still there and downloaded the correct driver from TP-Link's site, which didn't fix it either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a modem installed and was planning on using ethernet cables for my desktop as well as laptop. The laptop works fine (as I'm using it). The desktop on the other had a wireless adapter installed. I tried using the cable with the desktop and it would'nt pick up the connection. I took the wireless adapter out of the desktop and still nothing. I tried creating a new connection but it would only allow me to make a dial up connection. Not sure what to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOr some reason my desktop can't connect to my wireless network at all. Every other device in the house will connect just fine but this desktop either won't connect or will only connect with a very slow, intermittent speed. I don't know how I would be able to post an IP Config because I'm having to post this on an iPad. I've tried just about everything.
I've Tried: Power cycling the system Power cycling the router Disabling the wireless adapter and re-enabling it Running a diagnose and repair Telling my system to forget the network Going between static and dynamic IP addresses
Connecting through wires isn't an option because my desktop is too far away from the nearest wired connection.don dry recently reset the router to stock settings and reset the security so that could be related. I haven't had time for a firmware update though or messing with the firewall.
We just recently signed up with Time Warner Cable for internet access. The modem they gave us is also a wireless router. So we set up our wireless network like we should but for some reason my desktop computer won't stay connected to the new wireless network. We have a laptop downstairs that doesn't have any problem staying connected. I can connect to the neighbors wireless network and I have no problems staying connected. I can't figure out why my desktop won't stay connected to our network

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows XP SP3.I bought this machine used not too long ago, it came with a legit fresh install of XP and all the drivers. And it's been running in great shape until this. I'll retrace my steps as best I can.I was on the internet and my connection was still connected (Completely, not limited) but my browser wouldn't surf. I naturally restarted my router, nothing changed. So I restarted my computer. When it came back on the Wireless didn't boot up like it used to. I checked my internet, it was fine. My laptop was running fine on it.Now as I try to figure out whats wrong, my "Wireless Network Connection" is gone completely from my computer. AND the Wireless isn't on my device manager anymore?? I installed another USB wireless stick (which I used on my old desktop) and it's working ok but I feel like my connection used to be so much better which the ASUS wifi instead. I un-installed the driver, and re-installed. [code]
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been having a peculiar problem lately with my wireless set-up. I have a very simple and standard setup.My main desktop pc is connected to my TP Link TL-WR841ND wireless router and that is connected to my issued Time Warner cable modem. In my room I have a desktop pc with a TP Link TL-WN722N wireless adapter and my brother has a PlayStation 3 in his room.For months I have had flawless wireless internet connection between my desktops and PlayStation 3, but for the past few days I noticed that when the main desktop is on it prevents my adapter and PlayStation from making wireless connections to the router.
The only time my desktop with the adapter and PlayStation 3 is able to connect is only when the main desktop is turned off or physically disconnected from the router. Now, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Ethernet driver, resetting both the modem and router, and setting everything up from square one to no avail. I know it has to be something simple but I'm hoping I won't have to format my main desktop PC.
When I log into the routers configuration page through internet explorer and check the Wireless Statistics page showing the currently connected wireless stations and packets, I have noticed that very few packets are being sent out, like the adapter and PlayStation 3 are being blocked by the desktop. I had Norton installed on it a week or two ago just to do a quick scan, then I uninstalled it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen my desktop is on wireless, I get max burst of 2 MBps (Megabytes per sec), or about 16 Mbps (Megabits). Ok.I recently got a pair of Netgear MCAB1001 coax over ethernet adaptersStill getting about 2 MBps, 16 Mbps.The MoCA units are rated for 100 Mbps, or about 12 MBps I'm only getting 17% of rated speed. I know that the performance depends a lot on how many coax splitter you have in the house, maybe even the type of frequency the splitter filter out, how long the runs are, and other hardware cable stuff.But, I wonder why I keep maxing out at 2MBps on both wireless and the MoCA coax setup. Is that just a coincidence? Or is my computer setup weird?This is my test setup:LAN RouterPort 1) Computer #1Port 2) MoCA #1MoCA #2: connected directly to Computer #2.Basically, there is a switch on coax network between Lan Router port 2 and Computer #2. All ports are rated at 100 Mbps, your standard 10/100 ports. I can verify this on the network status.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm currently using a Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router with a MF112 Mobile Broadband Dongle on the 3 Network.[URL] ive been using this setup for over a year now and have had no issues. I have 3 appliances that are sharing the wireless internet connection.Iphone - Xbox360 and a Windows 7 Netbook Yesterday i found that i couldn't establish an internet connection, i had connection to the zoom 3g router but no internet access. To my great delight my iphone also refuses to right me internet access. A connection to the router is obtained but just no internet. My partners Xbox 360 though has no problem accessing Xbox Live i just dont get it. Also whilst a connection is established to the router over my Acer aspire one Nbook. my small Gmail/Gtalk icon in the system tray suggests that im online and available. and can interact with contacts. While this confuses me i fire up either Chrome or Fox and wait for my google.co.uk search homepage to appear in which it doesnt. if i load up a Bookmark like say Filehippo. it loads but the webpage is missing icons and its graphical interface.
I tried resetting the routers settings. rebooting my Iphone and Nbook.... Turning off the Xbox360 and then trying to see if i can obtain internet access. Nothing i try seems to solve this annoying issue. its driving me mad. i havent installed / updated or accidental removed anything that could have caused this. Ive had a situation in the past where a router connection is present but no internet access resulting in some sort of DNS issue i think. But when the iphone doesnt establish internet access but the XBOX 360 will. thats just a pain in the a$$.im suspecting that the router is at fault. there must be something that it isnt supplying the Nbook and Iphone with but is the 360. I dont know.
