Pox Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 help! the basic setup at my house is one D-Link DI-624+ wireless switch/router/whatever, 2 d-link 54mbps PCMCIA cards (in the parents' laptops) and two systems fitted out with DWL-G520+'s. They were both running fine until a few days ago when mine suddenly stopped working. I have reinstalled the drivers and matched the settings to my sister's with mixed results. sometimes, i can see the network but not connect, other times i cant see it whatsoever. ALL advancd settings are the same, including the preferred networks. Yes, i have the right WEP key. :yes: i cant find the problem :pinch: ! help please! my sister will kick me off any instant now!

ServaCom Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Have you tried changing the wireless channel? I have the same router and had a similar problem and changing the channel from 11 to 7 sorted it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pox Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 i changed the channel from 6 to 7 to 3 and it works! im just wondering why the other comp was working on 6.... :pinch: thanx mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServaCom Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Different 2.4GHz appliances can interfere if on the same channel (we have digital cordless phones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
