i am so frustrated cuz i am the ONLY roomate downstairs having this problem. all the other guys with labtops connect to the internet w/ out a problem.
i got a desktop and my wireless card is PLANET WL-8310. It would be connected to the internet, sometimes for a month or so at a time, then it would just go down, and it would work then not work again, one hour its on, next hour its down. i would spend hours trying to fix it but its almost as if its fixing/breaking on its own.
the router is D-Link and the landlord also got an extendor by the same brand. i even tried to connect a wire(tried regular and also crossover cable) from the extender to my built in network card and it wont connect, am i doing something wrong? or does the extender doesnt connect through LAN only wireless? if so, why is there a plug in the extender? also i tried to use Netgear wireless card when my PLANET card wasnt working and its the same problem w/ it. i think there is something wrong w/ the network or possibly with my computer, otherwise why do all the guys with labtops have internet work for them?
can somebody please help me out cuz im seriously thinking of moving out cuz of this stupid problem. im tired of calling my landlord cuz she is clueless and dont know jack. she even tried to set a password but the signal was so low that i assume extendor wasnt included in the setup so it didnt work for me at all. thats how clueless she is, didnt even know how to set it so the extender option is turned on.
its like there is an energy field in my room that wont allow me to connect to the internet at certain times or something and im sick of it.
