Hello all...
I am trying to figure out the problem I am having with my router. I just bought the new belkin router and have it connected to my desktop. I also have 3 laptops in the house that share the network all running on vista.The two older laptops with 802.11g are working fine and have great signal. My problem is with my newer dell with vista and a 802.11n CARD and is receiving a real weak signal. I just replaced this router because of the failing signals with the old router that was a linksys . My ISP is comcast. Does anyone have any solutions for me? The belkin people said I have to call dell tech support to change the settings on my new laptop. I dont understand this since it is a n router and a n card. PLEASE help. I appreciate any help.


thank youDo you have the router setup to work with 802.11g and 802.11n at the same time? Or is it set to work with 802.11g for your other laptops?

thank you for replying spoiler. yes it is defaulted to send and receive all signals. i double checked that before asking for help. i am so frustrated with this because i am sitting here and TYPING this on an older laptop sitting right NEXT to my new laptop and this one is a g not n. i welcome all comments and help. thank you in advance.Just to test try changing your router to "N" and see if the helps with the signal.

Does your NIC also accept "G"?

thank you spoiler for replying--if i change it to n wont that affect the other laptops that do run on g ? what is the nic ? thank you again
