Wireless Network Woes...should be simple fix.
 

Ok I have a Linksys Router thats a couple years old and a wireless network with one desktop hardwired and a laptop in the next room over.

I used to have a problem where My laptop would slowly slowly lose connection then dc then reconnect at full speed. That is not a problem anymore.

Now though, every 5 min or so it dc then reconnects. I wouldnt know except I can tell in AIM. This is the first problem and has been going on a few weeks.

We recently added WEP encryption but now I cannot access certain websites. I can log on and use 2p2 fine but I cannot say go to www.gmail.com. I can access facebook.com but it says page not found upon login and same goes for my school email client.

I was thinking change the network channel for the first problem but have no idea for the second.

Thanks in advance!

Update. I changed the channel and updated router drivers and removed WEP.

I still cannot access those websites on my pc. The desktop connected to the same router CAN access those sites so this may not be a network problem.

Any ideas?

In this Case I would have Hardwired the NB - and downloaded drivers for the Router - and the NB -

Unplug router and let it sit...replug...reboot pc's. Simple solve all for routers. Apparently after a few months they just need a break or something.
