My wireless lan keeps on disconnecting after some period . Also in restart i need to configure it again ? I have dsl connection with laptop with two wlan cards . WEP is enabled and also MAC based security . Both the cards are enabled?  Zonealarm , xp firewaal is on . On one card I get only ceratin application like steam , skype running . No HTTP . The wlan setting for this is manually configured  (IP protocol , address provided) ? I have no idea why http doesnt work on this . The Other card I use only for HTTP connection as the first one is not able to . It is windows configured . I tested with firewall off with no change . \nThe First connection is stable but needs to be reconfigured at startup . The second one is very unstable . What setting am I missing . I tried also with one card (because of conflict) but for http I need to enable the second one .

Turn Off your WEP. WEP Coz's all symptoms like, low contivity, regular disconnecting, slow speed etc.

Don't use WEP. WEP is old stuff and can be hacked into many sites on the internet have tools for hacking into WEP and many tech sites don't recommend using it. Also would need to know more information on how to tell you do set this up. I would asume you are using Windows XP (as you have to set up the computer side as well). In addition different routers use different menus, so knowing the exact model would help someone answer your question such that you can have it work for you.\n\nWhat you want to do is use WPA, much more secure. In addition, running it without the protection is not a good idea as you have found out. Reason why the companies leave it open as default is to make installation easier. Why I have no clue.

That is a good start.  See if a wired connection from your computer to router will work.  \n\nCheck your firewall on your computer. Maybe you should disable that for now.  \n\nIf things don't get better, then use the wired connection to TURN OFF your WEP KEY password for now.   If you can establish a proper connection, then try a simply password scheme.  \n\nBut don't try to run without security forever.  YOU SHOULD BE USING THIS FEATURE.

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

Usually that is going to let you know the wireless router and the wireless adapter are not communicating well or one or the other is having a problem with dhcp.  If you havent already, try unplugging your network equipment (dsl/cable modem and any additional routers/hubs/switches) you may have and restart your computer.  If that doesnt work, what model number is your speedstream and what version of windows are you using?

Get one of the routers suggested by other folks as per your interest. I'm using Netgear and have found no problem with it.\n\nConnection will be like this\n>Modem --(RJ45 Cable)--->WiFi Router------>(RJ45 Cable)----> PC with LAN card\n>Laptop with WiFi LAN Card connects to router thru WiFi\n\n1.Get one Wifi router\n2.Change your modem IP to 192.168.0.1, If it is 192.168.1.1\n   (Because routers mostly have the same IP which will cause problem during automatic router config steps)\n3. Rest you can find in your router manual

This reminds me of a very similar problem I had with the D-Link wireless router.  I tried reinstalling the drivers for the wireless router itself to no avail.  I finally wound up taking it back in buying a Linksys router.  The problem never was with my laptop computer.  It was always in the wireless router.

My guess is that your modem only allows one method of connection - either USB or ethernet, not both.  You say in your question wireless router, do you have 4 ports + the one internet port on the back, or just 1 port?  If you only have one, then it is just a wireless access point.  If it is a wireless router, you would be better off placing the modem in bridged mode and running everything through the router.  However, in one of your updates, you mention that "the broadband controller has some problem" - do you mean the network connection on your computer?  You might try reinstalling the drivers and see if that takes care of the issue.

sounds like a headache to me. my dad uses DSL which shares a phone jack with the regular telephone via a cheap connecter. then the line runs into his DSL modem. From there he has an ethernet chord running into a wireless router. From there he has an ethernet chord running into his actual computer. Not to mention the wireless network itself.  Then on top of that mess he has a different, ever changing, password for each device and his computer is so loaded down with adware and spyware and who knows what else so whenever there is even the smallest problem it is like finding a needle in a haystack.\n\nLOOK AT YOUR CHORDS! are any of them messed up at all?\n\nare you using a wireless network and all of your neighbors are getting online through your connection without you knowing? that would be funny. \n\nIf youre on anything faster than dial-up you shouldnt be having such slow problems. \n\nI think windows is unable to renew this IP address means that you keep getting disconntected from you ISP. Probably your routers fault.\n\nI dont know man. my advice is KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. reinstall your router. Try connecting to the internet without your router and if it works good than you know for sure the problem is something with your router. .... no matter what i can tell youre in for a headache. Good luck

DSL SHOULD be connected automatically when Windows starts as long as the modem is turned on and connected to the computer.  I don't know why it wouldn't. Perhaps you should try reinstalling the connection. If you have Windows XP, using the Network connection setup may help.

I have been using a D-LINK dl-524. Works like a charm. I have had it for about a year and its still working. I have never had to reset it or disconnect it or anything like that. I would also recommend a linksys w-router. Doesnt matter which, they all thend to be good.\n D-LInk is a lil cheaper though.\n\nGood Luck

I had the same prob with the same router brand. Try to use an encrypted connection with a shared key, use the key in your laptop. This guarantees a more established and stable connection

I need a little more info-\nis this a laptop(what model)\nwhat brand is your wifi card\n\nwhen you go to\ncontrol panel -> Network Connections->\nWireless Network Connection\nwhat does the big box say?\n\n\nIf you are using a laptop you may have  integrated wi-fi. This lets your computer turn the card off to save power. If it is off there is a button to turn it back on( depends on the model of laptop)\n\nif you are running a 3rd party wireless connection software that came with your card I would need to know what brad the card is \n\nif you can see other networks in the wireless connection window after pressing the refreesh network list button the problem is not with your computer but the modem it self \n\nalso what is the model of your modem/router\n\nyou don't need the wep to see the wireless network, you are asked for wep after "talking" to the router. Do you know your ssid?\n\nHow it is normally done:\ncontrol panel -> Network Connections->\nWireless Network Connection -> pick your ssid (something like 2wire) and press connect\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nOk I still need to know the model number of your laptop ( is on the underside of you laptop)\nso I can lookup it's manual and find the wifi button/switch is.\nToshiba moves it around often on there notebooks.

If its disconnecting when someone is on the phone then i would blame the DSL modem or the wiring. Maby your phone is messing with the wireless signal, Theres really to many possible causes, Best thing to try is eliminate posibilities one by one. Shut everything off in the house except the modem, router and Computer....if that works, then try turning things on 1 at a time and testing, But you might wanna contact yur DSl provider if it happens when someone uses the phone...sounds like a faulty wire or hookup.

Has this been happening ever since you set it up? Could be bad hardware. Check the manufacturer website for any firmware updates that could resolve the issue.\nhere's some research from google\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWK,RNWK:2005-50,RNWK:en&q=wireless+signal+keeps+dropping\nalso, where is the wireless access point located and how far are you from it? does this seem to happen even when you are in the same room as the WAP. If it does, then take your computer ( I assume that it's a laptop) to another location where you can connect wirelessly and see if the computer does the same thing. If it does, then reload/update drivers for the wireless card. You could also contact the manufacturer to see if this is a known issue (they wont disclose that it is a known issue and some times they won't post info on the customer support site, so just ask them to trouble shoot and determine the best course of action).

There is no best one, however, your problems may be related to how you've set it up.\n\nThings to do:\n\nTurn off SSID broadcasting\nEnable MAC address filtering\nTurn on WEP or WPA encryption\nMake sure you're on a clear channel\n\nLastly, other devices, such as some cordless phones (those running on the 2.4ghz frequency) etc, can interfere with your wireless router.\n\nIf you've done all those things, and you still have problems, there may be issue's with that particular router, i.e., maybe it's a lemon.

If you're using a wireless router, there are factors that may cause connection problems.  Distance, interference (other wireless devices like cordless phones, appliances like speakers with subwoofers or unsheiled speakers), or even firewalls.  Sometimes you may need to change channels on your router to get a more stable conection.  Also make sure your router is placed as high up as possible in an open area (not under desks, or near high voltage areas).\n\nIf you're using a wird router, or if your computers are wired to the router, try checking for firewalls.  You may alos be too far, and your ethernet cable too long.  You can try adjusting the speed of your network card to half (but don't do this without tech help, unless you know what you're doing!), though this would be one of the last things I'd do.\n\nYou can also try adjusting the MTU settings on the router (actually lowering it works - 1500 for cable broadband, 1300 for dsl broadband)).
