Home networking won't work completely?

YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO CALL THE TECH SUPPORT FOR YOUR ROUTER!  NO OTHER WAY!  OR TECH SUPPORT FROM YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER AND LET THEM WALK YOU THROUGH.\n\nBASICALLY THOUGH ONE OF YOUR COMPUTERS WILL HAVE TO BECOME THE MASTER COMPUTER IN A HOME NETWORK AND YOU WILL HAVE TO SET UP NAMES FOR EACH COMPUTER.  \n\nWAIT!!!\n\n\nI DID IT BY GOING TO WINDOWS 98 HELP AND SIMPLY ENTERING HOME NETWORK AND FOLLOWING THE STEPS THAT WERE IN THE DIRECTIONS IN THE COMPUTER!  TRY DOING JUST THAT!  OR GO TO THE MICROSOFT SITE AND ASK THAT QUESTION ! I FORGET WHERE THE DIRECTIONS CAME FROM THAT I USED.  BUT IT WAS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND I SET UP MY OWN PASSWORDS AND EVERYTHING!\n\nTRY HELP FIRST THEN GO TO MICROSOFT HELP ON LINE.  IF THAT DOES NOT WORK.  I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT THE CONFIGURATION BUT IF BOTH OF YOUR COMPUTERS ARE WORKING YOU CAN PROBABLY DO IT ON YOUR OWN WITH MICROSOFT HELP ALONE!\n\n\nGIVE IT A TRY!\n\nGOOD LUCK!\n\n\nAPS

You were told the wrong things when you bought the router.\n\nYes, if you want the entire thing to work wirelessly you'll need to buy a wireless NIC.

Check in the TCP/IP control panel and make sure that it is set up to use DHCP. After that, make sure that the ethernet cable is linking to the ethernet switch.

try relocating the wireless router to the place you normally work most of the time, or the center of your house, cause the standard normal range of transmission is 100feet with partition, unless your house is exceptionally huge, you should not have to change anything on the configuration, in terms of software and hardware.\nThe indoor interference probably have higher influence, tv, monitor, microwave, cell phone, avoid placing them close by the access point.

hello ! it's about the router ... if it is a cheap one with basic NAT, you need to upgrade to a router with enhanced NAT capabilities. Sorry, there is no other solution ...

More details. Are you both on the same network already? Are you both at home, within the distance reachable by a LAN cable? Are you both using the same Operating System?

if you are using just a regular home router this is harder to analyze.  make sure you have encryption set on your router to make sure no one unauthorized is using your connection - and you could try kicking off one client at a time till your network speeds back up.

Sounds like the router is defective...  I had that happen to me with a extreme G D-Link router.  Try returning it and see if you can get another one.  N works just fine on my Belkin one from Costco.

There could be several ways of doing that.\n\n- Unplug the networking cable from the LAN card.\n- Disable the networking in your OS\n- Disassembling the LAN card from your PC (if you are connected through wireless) etc. etc.

It should be possible to connect any network enabled device ie: if it says its a stand alone network device then it will work via your BT Home Hub network.\n\nHowever, having had experience of installing these BT Home Hubs I wish you luck.\n\nRegards EDD

Got to the connection tab in your Internet Explorer properties.  Use the connection wizard in there to set up for a connection that is always on...best to use the manual set up in the wizard.\n\nBe sure you have your ethernet cards drivers installed and the device manager shows the NIC card in the hardware profile before you run the wizard.

run a splicer from the box outside to the phone router. If they are on the same line, the signal gets weakened.We had the same problem and giving them each thier own dedicated line fixed the issue

Setting up a home network??\nYou are rather vague perhaps a little more info might get you what you need.\n=)

I have the same issue. My computer is upstairs, and the connection is down stairs. All you need is a wireless router, and the wireless card for your computer. It works great.

move closer to it. hahaha sorry. you should get in range of the network first. then if you are still having problems, try removing any obstacles that might be interferring with your signal reception. you might also try (if its your network) a wireless repeater to boost signal strength.
