Go into the wireless section of your router.

Find where you have "wireless n" and see if you can change this to "auto" when in this state it will switch channels if one of them is too busy. Sometimes when a person say next door has a wireless router if might interfere with your wireless router and so your wireless router will switch channels automatically. Also make sure that the "MTU" is set for "1480 or 1450", this makes for a better connection rather than the top end of "1500".

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

channels ok - MTU auto

I changed what you told me. the router now switches channels but concerning the MTU I put it back to auto because when I set it to 1480 or 1450 I couldn't access a lot of web sites

still not working

by rosalitac · 12 years ago In reply to Ok, is it working though? ...

it's still not working so I'm going to try adding a range expander halfway between the pc and the router. it means that I'll go back to g instead of n but if it works I'll be more that happy :) maybe the Linksys WRE54G with my old WRT54G router or with the WRT310N that I have in my closet

Can you try this?

First, does the problem PC work when cabled, able to acquire a network address?

Try Repair on the Local Area Connection.
-and/or-
Run WNTIPCFG and click on Release/Renew.

If this fails, try deleting your Local Area Connection and then set it up fresh.
