|
|
So a few days ago, my wireless just stopped working. It worked on my iPod and my mom's laptop. So today I tried to see if it was working again. It was. Yay. But it's super slow and doesn't load pages. The only page I can get it to load is FaceBook.
Note: I'm currently using a wired connection for all those idiots that couldn't guess that.

Check if there are other wireless networks around you on the same channel, or close to it.
Check the router page for band length settings, eg. short/standard/wide modes.
Check if your router is running in Wireless-N/B/G or mixed mode. Using one of these alongside another can cause connection problems.
Check that your router's antenna isn't being blocked or obstructed physically, or by something such as a microwave or wireless phone, or anything else that could cause interference. This includes neighboring houses.
You may also want to be sure no-one else is using your connection, or that anyone who does have access to your wireless connection is not doing something that would use up the bandwidth (large file transfers, including torrents)
Password protect your Wi-Fi connection and the router itself, never keep defaults. Very important with routers that can be accessed via your IP.
If all else fails, you can try doing a reset on your router, there should be a tiny button on it somewhere. Hold that for 5-15 seconds, you may only be able to access it by a wired connection after that, because it will have a setup page.
Your router may also be overheating, though this isn't common.

Wasn't fixed earlier, but it is now. It had something to do with the computer account. Thanks Kent.
