Hi there, I'm new to wireless networking, but just setup one yesterday and keep running into a problem with the internet connection hanging-up, or just quits doing anything, when I try downloading something and surfing the net at the same time, or if I’m playing a game and use the internet at the same time.

My setup is a D-Link DIR-615 Router and a D-Link DWA-130 Adapter. The main computer is hard wired in the router and the second computer is using the wireless adapter. My ISP is SBC (now AT&T) Yahoo! DSL and I never had this problem when I was using just the one computer hooked right into the modem.

When the connection goes inactive, I usually have to repair the connection and then it starts working again. It doesn’t take long to repair, but it just sucks because I have to restart download and wait for it to complete as I can’t surf the net at the same time. This definitely happens on the computer with the wireless adapt, but haven’t had a chance to double check the computer that is hard wired.

Any changes to the settings I can make in the router to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Let me know if you need more info.

Yea, it is just getting ridiculous now (and very irritating). I have to repair the connection like every five minutes. Anyone have any suggestions, or should I just contact the manufacturer of the wireless equipment and AT&T?

Thanks.

try updating the Drivers for the wireless card in the wireless computer.

also make sure the network is secured and if it is a problem with the wireless card then the wired pc shoudl be fine.

Duh, didn't even think about updating the drivers for the wireless card.

I'll try that when I get home, thanks for reminding me.

I think the wired computer works fine, really haven't messed with it much since I've been trying to update the wireless computer. I should probably also add that the computers are in seperate rooms, seperated by a 6-8in. wall but the antenna are pointing directly at the adapter straight through the wall at no angle.

Also, it should be a secured connection (WAP I think). I need to figure out how I can monitor if anyone else is connecting to it, through Windows as I rarely use the software that comes with equipment because it is usually just a variation of something already built into Windows.

THanks!

That did the the trick... works flawlessly now.

Thanks!
