I've been having wireless connectivity problems all week. I connect to the internet through a Netgear router and Comcast cable modem. Sometimes the connection drops, seemingly randomly. Sometimes it won't reconnect. Not a Comcast problem because I can unhook the router and use only the modem and the connection to the desktop computer works.
I've tried several things.
What else can I do? Any ideas or do I just need a new router?
I've tried several things.
- Rebooting computer,modem,router
- Changing the MAC address (tried the MAC of my laptop, of my desktop, automatic configuration, default configuration)
- Manually setting the DNS servers (I called Comcast and asked what DNS servers to use)
- Resetting the router completely and going through setup again
- Moving the laptop closer to the router
- Disabling Windows Firewall
- Updating the router firmware
