Make sure you don't use an extension cable for your modem if is a D Link they don't like it at all, also make sure you are using the right filter to your phone socket. It might be because your USB cable connected to your pc, check settings or reset the modem, there is a button on the back od DLink. If you lose conection the best thing and the fastest one is to unplug your usb cable for 10 sec.

I'm gonna take a shot on this and say it is an encryption issue. Both sides of the connection (the router and your computer) must be enabled with identical encryption code. If they are NOT the same, they will not connect. Also, look into changing channels. This can be the culprit as well.\nSetup one computer at a time and then move on to the next one.\n\nHope this helps!

One possibility is that your computer, not the AP's, is at fault....\nTry another wireless adaptor, or even another computer...\n\nStrange as it may seem, try moving out from directly below the AP.... they're actually configured to radiate horizontally, it may well be there's a "dead-spot" directly above and below.  (This could be fixed by reorienting the router antenna(e) )

It is because your computer is unable to get an IP address from the DHCP server, which is part of the router.\n\nI think you are in a home environment so here is the way; \ncheck your wireless router and try connecting it through ethernet cable. If the device seems to be fine then look for devices like microwaves, cordless phones and other devices which share the 2.4Ghz frequency range because they interfere in your wireless connection. If the device is not connecting even with the ethernet cable then try resetting your router.\n\nIf all fails, my friend, you need to maybe get it thouroughly checked by somebody who has knowledge.

If the other people in your house, are receiving good speeds and your card is not, then it cannot be your modem because they are receiving a good connection. It is either going to be your computer, or your wireless card. Chances are that you have a defective card, because if you are surfing, than there is no setting that you can really manipulate in your computer to make it go faster, other than deleting the cache and cookies. (I work for an ISP technical support helpdesk)...Try to get a new card installed, of try a Linksys wireless G adapter at Walmart, or Circuit City (between 30-50$), because sometimes it can just be that your card is not very compatible with your wireless router.

Because its flakey :) I have that happen to mine to. It could be that your isp changed the ip address. Got to the wireless connection in networks and right click to repair the connection. Sometimes that works.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.

One of my customers had this issue, even when only 10 feet from the router.  Contacted the vendor of the router, and they had us change the beacon interval from 100 to 50, and two other settings I can't remember off hand.  But call the router's tech support, they'll probably have the answer for you within minutes.\n\n(of course, this is if distance or interference is not the issue)

Sounds like the router is defective...  I had that happen to me with a extreme G D-Link router.  Try returning it and see if you can get another one.  N works just fine on my Belkin one from Costco.

Wireless connection can be affected by several factors, such as Speed Enemies, which can greatly interrupt your wireless signals. Examples are cellphones, some antenna equipments (Radio or TV) and even solid walls.\n\nTry situating the router nearer to your desktop, you should also check the security settings of your router to ensure that no one is hopping on your internet connection, this definitely slows down your speed. Use MAC filtering if there is and password-protect your connection with a 128-bit WEP key. Disable broadcast of SSID to avoid it being seen by free-riders.\n\nHope it helps...

the firewall in your router is always on. if a packet from the Internet hits your router and the router does not know what to do with it the router drops the packet.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

Sounds like you need to reset your router to default settings because it should show each and every page of the configuration.\nI've got a 205 and mine works like that.\nHow are you going to set up the xbox, in a dmz?\n\nHTH\nAlan

This could be a number of problems, but I would not go buy a new card so quickly, and that first answer is not even the same kind of network card.\n\nHow far away is the computer from the router?  I've seen this problem with a computer too far away in my house before.  Also, the 2.4Ghz band is pretty clogged with consumer electronics, especially coreless phones.  These can affect the performance of your wireless network, even if they are in your neighbor's house if they aren't too far away.\n\nWithout much more information, I would suggest resetting the router to factory defaults and starting over.  Good luck.
