Ever since I got that Linksys Wireless B nic, it seems I've been having problems with my network.

(nic is B, REST of network is g so...)

I get higher latency in CSS
I spike, disconnects for like a second every few
Laggy
Sometimes I get disconnected, and when i click the network icon, it won't even open.
Limited or No connectivity OFTEN! I just get kicked out and I get limited or no connectivity.I HIT repair and get

" Windows could not repair the problem because the following action could not be completed:

Renewing your ip address"

and I can't surf the web or anything.Pobally your router or your line is bad. Like me If I someone walks up on the stairs I lose my DSL connection and I get a

Wirless Signal

DSL connection Rate No signal Kb/s Upload No signal Kb/s

PPP status:
Down

The best thing for you to do is first make sure your user name and password is correct. Second check the cable that plugs into the router. If the router isn't recieving any signal then you can get a limit or no connectivity. PS please check your firewall.

i'll try to explain things, theres 5 computers on the network at home.

Wireless Turbo Router G

1) Laptop in basement - wireless G?
2) Computer 2, connected directly into router (guessing the router has a built in switch)
3) Computer 3, connected directly into router
4) Computer 4, wireless adapter G (netgear)
5) Computer 5, wireless adapter B (linksys) me.

so basically, everything is on G except mines but I figure it don't matter much since we don't network (or know how to for that matter), everything is connected for the internet basically.

When I had limited or no connectivity, the computers connected directly to the router were fine, the other 2 wirelesses were on.

I in no way did any network setting up so everything is just...like i said...plugged together.

So yeah...hope I get my questions answer and if I need to set anything, etc.
