Hi
I have a desk top and a laptop , also a Dlink router with a 6” wireless antenna attached.
I have AT&T high-speed DSL. My laptop is in another room and is wireless My Operating system is WindowsXP.
I have an unusual problem, when I connect to the internet I can only stay on for about two hours and then it will disconnect me. In order to stay connected I must connect modem directly to the desk top. And then I cannot use my lap top. In order to use the laptop I was told by AT& tech support to turn the computer off then the modem and then the router and wait 20 seconds and then turn on the router and then turn on the modem and then turn on the computer and it will work both the desktop and my laptop.
AT&T tech support says that they cannot help me unless I buy a router from AT&T obviously I do not wan to spend $150 plus for a router if I don’t have to. This is very annoying to say the least.
Are there adjustments or other connections that a I can Make I or is it necessary to take it into the shop?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
