ok this is easy i can help you there are a few things you can do i will give you the easiest first 1. if your router is like all other routers then what you need to do is go to comp USA or radio shack or where ever you can find the cheapest price on range extender antenna they go for about 50-60 bucks they will increase your signal and are easy to put on just unscrew the old ones and put on the new ones 2. if you cant take you antenna's off then you need to buy a range booster that will amp you signal to help you get to rooms you cant reach with your router =-) that's the easy way to do it

DSL = Before going thru a lot of exercises, call your ISP and ask them if they are having any problems, to first eliminate that possibility. You could throw in a request for a new modum.  Just make sure it isn't your router that's causing the problem.\n\nCall your phone company and insist that when you are talking on the phone you frequently hear a lot of loud  static/crackling, and that you want your outside and inside lines replaced.(Don't mention anything about the internet)  \n\n\nTry start/connect to/show all connections/right click on the connection that you are using/repair, and  check for spyware/malware.  \n\nFlush your dns .=.  start/run/ cmd/ ipconfig /flushdns/ok(enter)     \n Are you using a software firewall and/or router?\n\n\nUnplug modem/router and turn off computer, then plug everything back in.  Also check to make sure your network card is  correctly installed.=  Windows XP = r/click "my computer"/click the "hardware" tab/click "device manager"/\nexpand "network adapters" and see if there is anything listed, and if it is listed, see if it has an "X" or exclamation mark? \n\n\nClear/clean your cache and go to your local settings folder and empty your "temp" folder.\n\nBroadband Reports =» The 'bible' for Information on DSL, Cable and Other High Speed Internet Services = \nhttp://www.dslreports.com/tools  +   \n broadbandreports.com/tools/ connection tools\nhttp://www.broadbandreports.com/tools + \n\nhttp://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nhttp://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest\n\nTCP Optimizer = Speed up internet =   \nhttp://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2104\n\nhttp://www.testmy.net \n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net = Navas Cable Modem/DSL Tuning Guide  \n\n\nHow to interpret your Line Stats = http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/linestats.htm\n\n\nBT Broadband Desktop Help is a FREE, automated support tool = http://www.btyahoo.com/broadbandhelp\n\nBroadband - UK -= http://www.adslguide.org.uk/isps/summarylist.asp\n\nTautology Bandwidth Meter = http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/link/tbm/ \nnet meter =   http://readerror.gmxhome.de/

If your laptop is new, it should come pre-installed with a wi-fi card. If not, you need a wi-fi adapter. Any Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Target stores have adapters and routers. \n\nIf you have a PC in the home with a DSL connection, your modem is more than likely wi-fi capable. If you're not sure, call your ISP. If your modem is wi-fi capable, then all you need to do is get the adapter for your laptop and follow the instructions.\n\nI just did this for my mom. Her laptop came with the wi-fi card so it was easy. \nI got most of myhelp from Wi-fi.org

maybe if you got also a 10/100 faster switch to add to your router it might boost the speed enough....i have a linksys router and have not noticed much of a drop in speed

well you can either buy you a long network cable to run through walls up to your computer and hook it up.orgo wireless--my dsl provider is frontier and my modem has a wireless port built in all you need to do is get a wireless adapter from your near-by walmartfor 50 bucks--install it and hook it up and see if it works.if not--and your modem does have the wireless antena built in you might need to see how to turn it on from inside the modem on your pc.if your modem doesn't have a wireless antenna built in..then you need to buy a wireless router to hook it up to--this is how i got my pc's and tivos hooked up in my house all wireless..if any help needed let me know and i will see what i can do

network connections > right click connection > properties > configure > advanced > speed settings (possibly named differently) > pick one\n\nnote that auto detection is the best way to go, because forcing a duplex mode can cause worse performance

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

A modem should do it...

Try looking up your router and modem on this site(make sure you include the model #, for example "linksys wireless g broadband router, etc.:\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/\nsometimes they will have the instructions on how to configure your router.

Not without knowing who provides the DSL. What equipment you are using, specifically.\n\nWithout the exact specifics, all we can do is guess.\n\nOK, LINKSYS Router. They are some of the best made. I have only known one to have a problem, and it was solved by performing a firmware upgrade.\n\nGo to the website and check the model number to see if  firmware upgrade is applicable.\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Content_C1%26cid%3D1115416835852%26site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\n\n\nI'd like to know the DSL provider and the maker of the DSL modem.\n\nAlso, how many people are sharing this connection?

check the link light on the card.\nmake sure that wire is stable and is not cutted from anywhere.\nmake sure that your lan card setting i.e duplex mode and connection speed is configured properly.

Cable modem users: set up your LAN card to use DHCP\n\nDSL users: install rp-pppoe

I've seen this happen in a couple of different scenarios: a) your machine is located in an area which has a low/weak connection; b) your ISP is having issues with your connectivity; or c) you could have another wireless connection in the area to which your machine is attempting to connect.\n\nFor (a), usually getting some wireless "rabbit ears" or antennae can help boost the signal to more remote computers located on the wireless network; for (b), there is little that you can do if your ISP is having a network outage or problems supplying service; for scenario (c), you can usually detect this by going into your wireless settings and looking at the advanced settings.  Have it detect all wireless connections and make sure that yours is at the top of the list and is the preferred connection, \n\nI had a neighbor install an unsecure wireless router not too long ago, which my Windows picked up and switched to off and on because Windows chose to make it the first choice.  Turns out that it was a flaky connection and that it was very slow and kept fading in and out, causing the computer to keep retrying to get a new IP address.

Try switching of your modem for 5 Min's that sometimes helps.
