Solve : Weird Wireless Problem?

Answer»

A relative has a weird wireless problem. Here's the story:

She has a linksys wireless-g network card. She's having it connect to a Wireless-G Linksys router. She is the only one out of the other three people in the house that is having problem.

The Routers SETTING are all correct.

Her wireless setting are all correct.

At first her adapter wouldn't find the broadcasting ssid of the router in same house but would find another one somewhere in the neighborhood. With a couple refreshes/tweaks it would show up but not connect.

Finally I reset the router, changed the frequency, and it would find it connect but work so slow.. then time out every now and then. Id refresh sometimes it would work but then would disconnect. I tried connecting to the router but it would timeout.

I went behind the computer and changed the antenna from pointing up to the side. The connection instently went up to 4 bars and 54.0 mbs. It started working at blazing speeds...

I restarted to make sure itll work..on reboot it took like 3 minutes to locate the wireless connection and connect. Once it was connected I opened the internet and it wasn't working. After some refreshes it finally connected to the google.. all this time it is connected to the router. Then it stops working again.. but still connected at FOUR bars to the router.. I tried connecting to the router but it would time out.

Then it disconnected all-together.

I can't understand whats wrong with it. No other computer is having problems. She had a USB adapter with the same problems, so she got a network card. Still, same problem.

Hope the gurus out there could maybe help out!If you make sure no other computers are connected to the router or internet, how is the connection SPEED then for the computer?Disconnected everyone but here and still didn't work.

I brought over a BRAND new netgear wg111v2.0 usb adapter, installed it, restarted and BAM after like 2 minutes it found the network and connected. The internet was working.

3 minutes later... bam... still connected.. no more internet.

Restarted adapter.. and wouldn't connect anymore.

So confused.The funny thing is that it used work fine a a couple months ago according to her.
