    Need help about the router (or programs of that)

    The router is YOUR connection. Your neighbors connection/router is his own and has little effect on you. Technically the connection is shared but his TV usage I'm sure has a very small, if any effect on your Internet. Now if you meant something else by neighbor or you actually allow him to...

    USB sound card?

    Yeah I don't think an external sound card would offer that great of an improvement. In fact, before this question I didn't even know you could do that. But after googling and looking over some results on amazon they do exist but don't look that impressive (16bit etc). Opening up your computer...

    networking concept behind two account access through same network using two browsers

    Typically web browsers will only hold one session per website. The reason is because if two people could be logged in at the same time, how does the browser know who is at the computer? When you use a different browser it is using a totally different session and doesn't effect other browsers...

    relocating the wireless antennae

    I would imagine if your ISP has a tower in proximity to where your moving it too then it will automatically pick up the signal. But if your out of range to your ISPs nearest cell tower then your out of luck/...just like any cell phone.

    security policy USB stick

    If your school administrator has the policy set for your network to disable USB then why would he ask you to find a way to use USB on the network? You can't use USB if the network doesn't allow it. You could possibly boot out of the network (if there isn't security controls blocking it) by...

    I think I have a problem with my router

    Yeah what john said. One way to try and work around interference is changing the channel (frequency) of the wireless. If your router is next to a microwave, satelitte box, lots of power lines, fluorescents, etc you will definitely get some interference. Although, if you change the channel...

    Modem loses internet connection.

    The only thing an end user can attempt to do to restore modem connectivity is simply repowering the device. Beyond that you will need to contact your ISP because they are the only ones with the tools and access required. From my own experience these are typically things that can go wrong that...

    Simple Yes or No network question

    Nobody should be able to send a "jam signal" from the Internet through your router into your network/computers. Your router has a firewall and shouldn't allow anything to be forwarded into your network without you explicitly allowing it. Somebody could in theory try and DoS your router and...

    Simple Yes or No network question

    Your overall connection provided by your ISP only has so much data throughput (bandwidth). If you are experiencing connection issues or slow Internet specifically when the other computer is turned on only, then it is possible that the other computer is sending a lot of traffic across the...
