I riddle you this-
What has two antennas and is a pain in the rear? Linksys Wireless Router!
The router i have in my house works only when it wants to apparently....
I cannot, for the life of me, get a connection on the two desktops that i have in my house that are in seperate parts of the house. Both router and modem work for the 2 lap tops i have but not the desktops. The desktops have a consistent problem- a network connection for literally a second... and then it completely drops it. Part of the riddle is that one of these computers has a brand new antenna... so it is not the card on the receiving end thats causing the problem. Also, it is not a location or router strength problem because both laptops receive a a decent connection when put in the exact same location as the desktops.
What is so puzzling is that there is no reason why the computer with the new antenna shouldnt be working... its not a location problem, its not an antenna problem, its not a router/modem problem... i have no clue WHAT the problem is.
I have cable internet with a standard cable modem, a Linksys 2.4Ghz Wireless- G Router, all the computers involved run smoothly without problems (non-internet related) and have worked on this set up for quite some time till recently.. all the wireless cards are either new or functional.
I have tried moving the router/modem, i have tried changing settings (blindly..) but i have no idea what to do.
i dont know what else to say but, if anyone could help me figure this out... im not completely technologically inept but im not sure if there are some crazy settings that need to be changed or something ihavent thought of.
Help me out--
