question about routers

[sandcracker21]

Well I just installed a new wireless card because my old wireless adapter was not working too well anymore, now my DLink wireless router 2310 will stop working a few times a day and I have to unplug it and plug it back in.


What is causing this? Should I get a new router? My router is 108 megs and my card is only 54...is that a problem??

anyone ???

The speed should 'fallback' to standard 54 meg when dealing with a 'single' card.

What exactly seems to be the problem...does the signal just drop off, does the router actually disconnect/reset?

You could try changing the channel on the card or router or both (most cards, by default will take any channel).

I just loose my connection to the internet, then I go downstairs to my PC directly wired into the router and it has no internet either.

I must unplug then replug the router and it works again....for a while at least

If it is affecting both the wireless and wired connections, it is not a channel problem.

I guess the next step would be to bypass the router and directly connect a machine to the internet connection to find out if the connection to the router is dropping.
