need help with Cable and WRT54G Linksys

[ah_tee]

setup: TV outlet to SCV cable modem, then to WRT54G Linksys wireless router

 

 

problem faced now; 1 desktop w/ USB Linksys Wireless WR54V4 network adapter and 1 notebook with PCMCIA Dlink WI Fi card

 

 

 

surfing with notebook no problem, but surfing with desktop is a big problem

 

 

 

 

i have excellent signal strength, but "limited connectivity" ,

 

downloading speed is 1kb n below, distance less than 5metres

 

 

tried reinstalling driver also no use, suspected is browser problem, installed Mozilla Firefox also same case

 

 

disabled norton internet security, helps abit but SBF alone still takes 5mins to load

 

 

help mi !

for a start, try connecting the desktop to the router via network cable. should the surfing speed be deemed normal, then u can safely isolate the problem to the wireless connectivity issue.

 

if its the wireless issue, u might need to provide more configuration details.

May I know more about the connections.

 

SCV Point -> Cable Modem -> Use LAN Cable not USB -> Linksys Router.

 

Restart the cable modem. Should be able to work. You should get everything up and running. I hope. Do tell the outcome.
