Hi, my name is Alex and I need help!!! I got 3 computers at home: #1, #2, #3 #1: Wireless network card #2: Wireless network card #3: Wireless router(connected to modem and connected directly to computer #3) Computer #3 works normally, because it's directly connected to router, but with other two I have problems, they're communicating with router through radio signals through wireless network cards. Problem: On both computers #1,#2 Network works very poorly: it's few cases happen all the time: Case 1: every 10-15 seconds network dies for few seconds and then recovers or stays dead for some time Case 2: network won't work at all, completely dead Case 3: network works vert slowly, impossible to work with network or internet(also as in other cases) Case 4: rarely network dies for few minutes and then recovers In all cases as I said it's impossible to work in network or in internet(internet is shared)! Wireless network cards(both are the same): Belkin, 2.4 MGHz, uses IEEE 802.11b to communicate. Router: EZ-3 - Barricade Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router, SMC7004VWBR Thanks!

Hi Alexander, on each computer that's not getting to the Network or Internet, find the network adapter, on one of the Tabs, you'll be looking for a name is the list the name is Channel. There are 11 channels, make sure that your network cards are set to the same channel as your Access Point and that there is a Wireless Network name in each card that matches the name in the Access Point, the name of the Wireless network name is called SSID, short for Service Set Identifier. You can do it. Bob

Thanks! Bob It's too late now, tomorrow I'll try your suggestions and tell you what happens! PS. I am goin for A+ Tech right now too, in about two weeks I'll will go do exams =)! Do you know if they test for wireless networking, because I am first fighting with it and also the book doesn't cover wireless networking?
