Re: my laptop will not connect to fios if more than 10ft away

I have a toshiba a105-s2091 laptop with a Atheros AR500G wireless network inside. And local connection is a Realtec RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. The router is a Actiontec MI424-WR Rev.D I have been manually putting in a IP address and been able to connect (ethernet) because it showed something way different and wouldn't change or connect if i selected automatic nothing happened. (only feet away from router) I probably messed something up by changing the settings somewhere. If i just new how it was suppose to look or be. When i try to use the wireless it says i'm connected but no internet comes up. (even right now on the bottom of my computer says wireless is connected and excellent strenghth but i tried it and nothing happens) I could use the wireless yesterday only right by the router but today i can't even do that. I do have a cordless phone right by the main computer that the router is connected to and my magicjack (my phone service) is connected to that main computer as well. I have not had a problem with the phone so far and i had it before i got the fios. I did change the channel on my router and nothing different.
