Wireless (RF) is a peculiar concept! If your laptop or router are positioned in a particular spot, the signal can destructively interfere and you see a poorer signal. The environment (e.g. obstacles causing reflections) will affect Wireless signal propagation.

A slight movement of either your laptop or router may move it from a null (poor signal location) to a peak (good signal location). It is all dependent on your environment.

Have you managed to compare your MTU size?

Hi, the pc is 2 feet away from router with nothing in between;;;Actually, to be honest, I didn,t know what an MTU was until you mentioned it;;;just read about it on wiki;;;but no idea how you compare it, to what???Max trans unit///is it that?

Just remember to select the Wireless adapter if you do make any changes.

Did you hit the Enter key?

Myser

Ah, I think you are typing the instruction into the Run command box - that will cause a Command Prompt to briefly flash up, execute the command and then disappear.

You need to type in CMD in the run command box.

Check the MTU size in your router.

If after receiving your new router, you are still having problems, try setting the MTU for the wireless adapter to 1450.
