thanks but cant run a ethernet cord from where my desktop is to the back room

what is really odd is that after a long time to hook it up it worked great for a few months now off and on u just never know whats your going to get

ok if you say soo, only other thing i can say is get an amplifier to increase the range of your wifi..ANd don't forget to use passcode for wifi. If others can share it, it also slows than the speed.

password 1st thing i did, i will look to amplifiers
i think u should only go like 20 feet with an ethernet cable i more then that

Hammer... a friend of mine works at a local school in the IT section. When I got a router I needed a longer cables... He said there would be loss a of signal with a longer "phone socket to router" cable but NOT with a longer ethernet... at his home he has ethernet cable at about 45ft.

If it has suddenly stopped working for no real reason, my best suggestion (especially if you have no clue where it went wrong) would be to reset EVERYTHING. Reset the router, reload the router drivers and re-setup the connection. Hopefully that'll give it the kick up the arse it needs

Good advice! ... many PC issues can be solved by switching off and re-booting
