Hello guys...
I have been getting a strange problem, well for me it is, with my wireless connection. I just got an Asus WL-138g V2 wireless PCI NIC, i have got it to connect to an access point allright, the first day it worked like a charm, internet surfing was a breeze. The next day, it was still connected with excellent signal and good speed but for some reason, surfing the internet took very long to respond, i couldnt even sign in my MSN, but I was still connected. For the past few days it has been like this, except for a one off day where I had the wireless working sweet. Can you please help me out? I am a newbie in this kind of stuff so a little help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! ^^

Change your wireless channel to either 1 6 or 11. May be some congestion on the channel you are using.

In addition, try power cycling your wireless router. Some of them just need to be restarted every once in a while.

REamemiya,
Isolate your problem to the specific area. Try the following

1. Power cycle both the Wireless router and your computer.
2. Make a link between your computer and the router.
3. Ping the wireless router from your notebook. Send a largest packet "ping" can handle.

If the ping latency is low, then you know that the link between the router to your computer is good.

4. Ping www.google.com or www.yahoo.com with the same size packet.

The latency will be longer because you're going over the internet. If you get a lot of "timed out" messages you have a problem between the router and the internet.

5. Plug not notebook directly into the router LAN port and do the same ping.

If the ping is fast there is a setup problem between your WAN and LAN settings. If the ping is still slow you have an issue with the service. Give the service provider a call.

There are a lot of variables that I'm probably missing at least this is a start.

Good luck.......RFengr
