Hi everyone,
I've been trying to stream TV shows onto my TV in my living room from a laptop connected to the TV via HDMI. The TV shows are actually located on my desktop which is a couple rooms away and I've been using the laptop to access my desktop via the wireless connection.
The problem I'm having is the video is choppy at random intervals and after roughly 30-90 minutes, the connection is lost and my laptop or desktop cannot seem to find each other. When I try to view files on the computer, I get error code: 0x80070035 the network path was not found. I've ran all the windows diagnostics/troubleshooting tools and they didn't fix anything.
When I tried transferring files from my desktop to the laptop, the speed was anywhere between 700 KB/s and 1 MB/s. Seemed pretty slow to me but I've never transferred files wirelessly before and I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes.
Rogers gave me a CD for the modem which I'm assuming had some sort of "easy setup" on it. The disc didn't work in my drive and appeared to be scratched so I'm assuming that's why. The technician said that if it didn't work, just go to the modem CP and make any changes to it there. Everything works fine except for this issue so I assumed I didn't need what was on the disc. Bad assumption?
I've tried setting up a home network but that didn't solve any problems. The connection still timed out after the same amount of time. I've tried various solutions offered after googling the error code but nothing so far has worked.
The internet connection on both computers seems to be fine - I'm downloading on both at over 20Mbps and uploading at 1Mbps according to speedtest.net.
Currently the modem is set on Wireless G/N mixed on channel 1. I've also tried channel 11 and auto and that didn't change anything. I'm using WPA-PSK TKIP.
If there are any other specs that might be helpful, please let me know.
Thanks very much for your help!
