Router Problem!

elementmaster · 05-20-2008, 08:29 PM

My 2WIRE 1070-B just recently broke off my connection, so I reset it. Then, my router, AR680W, started to go all wacko. Before, I could go anywhere in my house with everything perfect.

Now, however, everything is horrible. I set everything up right, but when I go to a nearby room, the transmit rate is now 1, instead of the usual transmit rate of above 100.

Also, when I do not use an ethernet cable, it seems that nothing happens in the browser, unless I'm lucky.

This problem is only my Mac Leopard 10.5.2, Windows XP Home, and Windows Vista Ultimate.

Please help?

Try reseting and router and see if that helps alleiviate your connection issues.

Some things you can try here.

For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.
