Wireless Problem

[The Great iBoldin]

Computer illiterate iBoldin is here with another dandy of a computer problem - this time a wireless issue.

 

Wireless works most of the time, but there are these gaps of about 3 weeks every few months or so where my wireless internet just won't work. I'll have the network I'm trying to connect to (my own) but every time it will come up as "Disconnected" and the only way to access internet on my laptop from home is through an Ethernet cable hooked up to the router. It's a very odd problem, but I've had no prior success in combating this.

 

Lkr, Real, or anyone at all with prior experiences; Any suggestions? Thanks.

Probably your router, buy a linksys.

I don't think it's a router problem, because this just occurred again after having no prior problems of it for about a month. When it does work it works great, I have no problems and I get real high speed. When it doesn't, it just becomes a pain in the [expletive] for me because I hate using our home set-up.

what router is it?

just restart your computer and unplug router. i doubt its anything worse since it doesnt happen very often. i could be wrong though

I have two. My wireless one is a TrendNet TEW432BRP (I don't know if that matters though). The wired is one my IP Provided.

if you look at the bottom of it, what hardware revision is it(where it says H/W: X):

C1.1R is what it says.

hmm, you might either have to deal with it or buy a new router. i couldn't find anything in a firmware update addressing a fix
