here my situation i have small business in asmall town i have 6 computers plug on a ROUTER linksis
my trouble is that 3 goes verry well and 3 that sometime they et plug and when it does plug it is verry slow
any suggestion

thanks for reply1.  What's the issue?

I'm not sure what you have, what you're trying to do, and what you think is wrong.

You have a small business in a small town.  You have SIX computers connected to a Linksys router.  Three computers work well.  The other three (sometimes don't connect???) and when they do (it???) is very slow.

I think you're saying three of the computers don't always connect, and when they do; they (or is it your entire network) is very slow.


2.  Local Area Network (LAN) Configuration:

     a.  What is the Model Number of your Linksys router?  Approximate year that you BOUGHT it? (As this gives hint as to version of firmware controlling it.)

The firmware has many "options" that you may need to become familiar with:
          (1)  The firmware may limit how many simultaneous connections it can effectively manage.  Or the physical design/components of router may effectively limit number of simulataneous connections it can effectively service.

          (2)  It may limit which computers may connect and when (day of week, time of day).

          (3)  There may be newer version of firmware that resolves problems you're having (but this can be risky).

     b.  Are all six computers plugged into the Linksys router at the same time?  What operating system are they using?

     c.  Is there a lot of traffic on your network?  Are you RUNNING a server, e.g. database, that all of your computers continuously communicate with?

     d.  Is this a closed network (no internet access) or do you allow internet access?  Running a "web" server?
WOW  that is alot us stuff to figure out
