Default Re: Wireless/Router/DSL/Hell

This sounds like a problem I'm having. Losing the conn for a couple seconds regularly. I'm a
total donk with the tech stuff though.

It only started happening mebbe a few weeks ago; was ok before, tho I changed nothing.

Inspiron 9200 with netgrear wireless stuff. Can someone tell em exactly where to start looking to try these MAC address or whatever may be the problem..?

The MAC address stuff was not directly related to his connection dropping. LetYouDown had one router, router A, that could get out onto the Internet via DSL, but was dropping wireless connections. LetYouDown had a second router B that did not drop wireless connections, but could not work with his DSL to get out to the Internet. The MAC spoofing was to get the working wireless router B to look like A to get out on the Internet through DSL.

LetYouDown and gusser never really addressed why Router A did not work.

We can try with you now.

Does the connection drop all over, or in one particular spot? Do you live in an apartment building or other urban environment where there may be other networks? Are you broadcasting your SSID on channel 6?
