Problems with Linksys Wireless Router

mari23 · 11-15-2004, 02:45 PM

I have a wireless Linksys Router. Sometimes it works fine but most often it doesn't work. I have Windows 2000. Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Have you tried changing the channel on the router and the pc? Sometimes interference from a cordless phone, or another wireless setup in the local area could affect this.

If you are on channel 6, then try channel 1 or 11.

This can all be done through the web based admin. On a standard default router, put in Internet explorer address bar 192.168.0.1 Then put in the login name and password.

Also change the SSID (router name) to something other than 'Default' or whatever is listed in the device name box.

Also make sure any power save options are off on the wireless card.
