Freeze:

I did have it connected (upstairs) to the APC backup with built in surge suppressor, but have since brought the router and modem down stairs where it seems to be Ok for the last few days.

The USB wireless device works on the tower and doesn't seem to be a problem. I had it connected directly to the router up until I moved them downstairs. When connected directly to the router via a cable I have not had a problem with the tower or laptop. It is entirely possible that I have not set something correctly but what I don't know.

My ISP is SBC the router I am using now is a D-link with a built in 4 port switch. The Modem is a Speedstream have to get the models for both. They provided the Modem. It is WEP encrypted. I did change the password and the username on the router. I have not tried other peoples computers at my house but I did try an old laptop with the spotty results as well.

Nitro:

I had the tower hard wired and never had a problem. I also have never been able to connect to the internet when going straight to the modem. I have to have a router or it will not work. It did the same thing when I tried to connect to Xbox live on the 360 meaning I had to have the 360 connected through the router in order for it to work. It's really strange it's like there is some sort of interference going on it just seems to knock the wireless signal (direct con. works) out completely. When I move the router around just a few feet it seems to help, other times I have to reset power. It’s been working like a champ since Monday I couldn’t get it to display less that 54mbps.

Jeff The Warnings & Cautions discussed in this manual cant cover all possible conditions/situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product. Last edited by J57ltr; 12.23.2009 at 03:53 PM.
