Hi all,
I'm new here and not very techie so please bear with me.
This is complicated (at least it is for me)
Have an old XP PC (works great) which I gave to my brother as his was no good, it worked fine for about 5 weeks .
This PC was in a bedroom in my house and had a PCI card (Ralink I think).
Brother has Talk Talk via a phone line and it has been OK, slowish but he was happy with it, recently it started losing the internet connection up to 5/6 time a day sometimes he could not get it back on for up to 3 hours (he was repeatedly rebooting it) He has a Dlink router and a wireless adaptor stood next to the PC as it is in an upstairs room
Talk Talk now say there is a fault on the line and he awaits a engineer
I wanted to ask will the PCI card and the Dlink wireless adaptor work together or should the PCI card be disabled.
