I'm in the process of changing internet service
from SBC/Yahoo DSL to Broadband (RCN Cable here in
Chicago).
I have a problem keeping my broadband connection.
When using my DSL, there are no problems, all
works fine, howver with my new broadband connection
and when travelling, I cannot hold/keep the
connection.
For instance: my brother has Comcast cable modem
and wireless Linksys router at his hosue. When I
visit his house, I can connect, howver I get
bumped off every 10 seconds or so. I then
plugged my PC (newer model with windows 2000 XP)
into his router and still get bumped off every
10 seconds or so. whether I try wireless or
wired...I still get an interruption every 10
seconds.
Next problem: I just switched from DSL to cable
broadband at my home and am also using a Linksys
wireless router.
I retained my 2-wire wireless LAN card that is
802.11 G compatible with the new Linksys wireless
router.
The problem is that when I sign onto sites that
require a password, I get bumped off and then
have to re-enter my log-in info...only to bumped
off within 10 seconds.
I'm confident it's something to do with my
computer...I just don't understand or know how and
what to change to keep the connection stable.
I want to continue with my plans to ditch the
DSL and go with the cable Broadband, however the
DSL works perfectly and never interrupts the connectin
- it just costs 3X more than the plan my
cable company is offering.
