Wireless internet network issues connecting to laptops?
Posted on March 5th, 2010 by admin
I have a Netgear Wireless Network Model MBR624GU, which uses my USB Modem for bipgond internet,
I can use the wireless for my laptop and multiple iphones and my xbox 360 via cable and it works good, but it has trouble connecting to two or more laptops, somtimes it just says limited connectivity for the second computer i connect, but sometimes they can connect together.
Any ideas?
I should not be an issue with bandwidth as you are unable to connect to the access point(your router) what it could be if you have many devices is that the DHCP pool is not large enough on your router.
Check out this link http://www.2000trainers.com/security/wireless-dhcp/ to read more on Dhcp. then log in to your router find something similar to network settings, in there there should be somthing similar to DHCP range or DHCP pool if this is low increase this to atleast the amount of devices you are connecting to your router. So if the range is 100 – 105 increase it to 100 – 1XX(number of network devices) that is including devices connected with a cable.
Also try to decrease the DHCP lease time, this should be on the same page as well, a setting like 180 minutes shoud suffice.
