Are You Experiencing Problems With Your Wireless Router's Connection?

It could very well be you have a weak signal or the connection is so poor that you're not maintaining a solid status.

Overall, wireless routers are dependable, although electronic devices are not always 100% perfect.

The reason why this imperfection takes place is because you may have your 2.4 or 5.4 ghz telephone too close to you wireless device.

What does this have to do with my wireless router?

It's simple, both the phone and computer share the same frequency and can ultimately interfere with one another's performance.

Here are your 3 simple steps to help you maintain a strong solid connection with your wireless network:

1) Make sure your Cable or DSL modem is functioning properly. It the device located on or around your computer or you may have it in the basement. The modem contains 4 lights on the front. One is green and the other 3 should be yellow. At least from my experience it is.

2) If you're cable or DSL modem fails or gives out, shutdown your computer, unplug the modem for 1 minutes, unplug the router for about 30 seconds, and reboot your computer. This action will initialize the modem and router so your computer can assign a new IP address and once again communicate with the Internet.

3) If you're computer tower is wireless, you may need to adjust or move the antenna around until you've detected a stronger signal. you may even have to move your desktop to another spot for this to work.

4) When you've rebooted your computer, click on the "start button" and click on where it says "run." Type in "ipconfig" and your IP address should refresh itself. This works on Win XP and if you're running Win 98 or ME a window will pop up with a bunch of information. And at the bottom of that window you're given the option to renew or refresh your IP address. You want to refresh it first before you renew. Again, this can get a little bit more advanced so start off with the basic such as steps 1,2 and 3 to gain resolution to your problem.

There are more technical steps you can take if any of the above steps don't fix your problem. You can start by contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to see if there are any network glitches on there end. It's usually their towers that are temporarily down or your wireless router just needs to be reset.
