Does anyone have problem with wireless network  when comcast changed to Roadrunner yesterday?

I had the same problem with my laptop. Comcast really sucks with their wireless things, my desktop and my brother's worked fine. But my laptop didn't. I actually ended up getting rid of my laptop when it broke because so many things were wrong with it and we believed it was caused by comcast's updates. Complain to comcast until they come to your house and fix it and see about getting a reduction on your bill for lack of service. \nEventually the connection won't connect at all. Don't waste money on getting a computer tech to come out, the odds are he's going to tell you it's comcast. And comcast is going to tell you it's your laptop. Insist that they give you a new modem. \nThere are probably more options, but I'm not great with computers so I avoid technical things like removing and adding hi-tech things, so I complain to my providers.\nHope that helped or gave you a new perspective.

I doubt it. Most wireless problems turn out to be signal strength problems, interference issues, or bad security configuration.

Try changing the channel on the Wireless Access Point.  If you're in the United States, valid channel numbers are 1, 6, and 11.  Try one of the other two valid channel numbers.\n\nIf you have a cordless phone or other device that transmits on the 2.4 GHz frequency, try moving its base station further away from the Wireless Access Point.

They're morons.  It's not your fault or your line.  Sounds like either the modem itself, or their main hub isn't recognizing your IP address change.  Try a new modem AND get their main office to keep your IP static in the windows settings.

best idea would be to call the internet service provider to see if they have any problems, and to test the modem, line etc.. \nif thats not a problem dont use the router connect directly and see if the problem still happens if still ongoing, scan for spyware, virus, run all windows updates.

Roadrunner is a cable connected high speed access to the Internet. It is offered in some areas, but not all.\n\nWireless requires a device on your laptop with software to allow you to connect to a wireless port when you are within range of it.  This may be at a cafe your own home computer (second one, with wireless transmitter called a router attached to it), or any other location that happens to offer wireless Internet connection.  Starbucks is one that usually offers it and many other businesses are starting to offer it to get people to come into their business.  \n\nMy advice is if you are going to use a cable hookup at home to contact your local cable company and see what they offer and discuss the wireless part with them too. \n\nDo a search for Wireless Internet on Goggle to scan the whole Internet for facts and hardware that you may need to buy.  If you are buying a new laptop, it may come with the wireless connection already installed!

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.

Nope, not on my Comcast high speed or Verizon DSL.  Everything is working as it should.

Agree with above. Make sure your speed settings are set for your DSL. Just got a news letter from techrepublic a day or so re QT problem. They had link to QT to down load the patch. That was in this past week, so u may want to check on that if you haven't got it this week. I don't know when you d/l the up date.

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)

Were you using the Windows zero configuration service or some proprietary wireless configuration utility that came with the wireless card?  If proprietary, then is it still running?

The paperwork merger did not cause any change in the physical connections between your house and the (now) AT&T network. All the switches, wires and circuits are the same.  There are some physical changes taking place elsewhere, but these are not going to affect your dsl speed.\nThere are many possible causes for a slowdown in your connectivity, but the merger was not a factor.

I am in the beginning stage of this battle as well.  Four months ago, I upgraded from basic to pro, only to find that my download speed has not increased.  Upload has increased approximately 15-20% to 410Kbps.  I've contacted AT&T Yahoo, only to be given the script trouble-shooting answers such as, "Clear Cookies, Delete Files and History.  Allow all Cookies, turn off Internet Security" and turn 360 degrees, reboot your machine, reload OS, and chant a Christmas Jingle.  I have not quite gotten the rewire the house telephone lines or rework the plumbing request, but I'm sure that'll be the next one.  They've refutted my theory that it could possibly be the three-year old SpeedStream 5360 DSL router that's causing the bottle-neck, since 3.0Gbps wasn't even a techie's wet-dream when the router was designed....  Sorry that I don't have an answer for ya' - just wanted to let you know that you're not alone on this one.

You said the signal worked fine for the first three months so I'll assume it's not a hardware problem, at least not with your computers.  It's also not an interference problem, at least not from anything you are running.  If there is another wireless network in the area, that might be interfering with yours, it's possible, I had it happen once.  Try changing the channel it is operating on, that will be in your router configuration, see if that helps.  If none of that works then more than likely it is your router, go to the nearest store and pick up a different branded router, see if your problem goes away but it's not final.  If another router fixes the problem than you can conclude with ~95% accuracy that the problem was the router.  If a new router doesn't help then you might have to look into the hardware that is installed in your laptop as the problem.

Neither one is better than the other. You still have spots of dead service, just like DirecTV and DishNetwok. You still have rain fade and atmospheric conditions that interfere with it. I am not paying for radio when I can get it free from the same vehicle.

I'm guessing that you're using 802.11b/g?\nIf so, changing the channel on the wireless is a good idea, I'd try moving 3 or 4 channels from where you started.  Most likely, you've got another wireless device trying to use the same channel. (i.e. a wireless phone, or a neighbor's computer network).  Also, you can check for common sources of interference, like microwaves, florescent lights, metal walls in the way...  You're dealing with a radio, so if there's anything that would interfere with signal on a cell phone, or a remote control car, it might interfere with your wifi as well.\n\nIf that doesn't work, or you can't figure out how to change the channel, you can call the company that made the router, and talk to tech support.  That might just be an ordinary configuration error, and even if it's not, they might be able to help (Be polite, and patient, if they seem to be running through a lot of basic stuff, that's where most people make a small slipup).

Try unplugging the router, and replugging it in. You can also disable and re-enable the wireless connection. sometimes that helps.\nhttp://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsxpnetworking/ht/conndisenable.htm\n\n--Sam
