I have been having a big problem recently with dropped connections and decided to have a good look at it this weekend.
I have cable broadband,and suspected the cable modem was faulty as one has already been replaced,but on testing the it using the modem cable into the PC, I had a great connection and things were much quicker.
I tried re setting the wireless router and found the problem. The router (Netgear) and only 14months old was kaput.
This morning I got another router,54g this time instead of 54b, set it up with WEP in about 20mins and connected 2 laptops to it as well
The difference in speed is amazing,the web pages load in a fraction of the time,and so far things are stable.
I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself,as a total beginner a couple of years ago to do this, so much so that I thought I'd share it with the experts
