How far is your computer to the DSL wireless router? If it is too far and signal becomes to weak you won't be able to connect. And also make sure that there is no metal, concrete wall in between, it will block signal too. Good luck Thanks

Keeps dropping signal to iPhone & computer

Hello!

I am not able to locate a model 67, so I presume that is short name for it.

Can you look at the label on the bottom and get the full model name? Examples of Netgear model names are WRN2000.

As for the signal dropping, it is possible that the router needs a firmware update. I would suggest searching for a firmware download for the modal have.

Good luck!

Netbook keeps dropping Wireless Connection

I'd remove the internet connection entirely and then reinstall it - there may have been a Microsoft update that your ISP patch doesn't recognize. Also try going to speedtest.net and take a look at how fast your computer is pinging to the ISP if it is slow contact your ISP they may be able to do a signal refresh to your IP address. Delete the browser history and clear your cache as well. restart the computer

My RCA modem keeps resetting connection. When I reset it or turn it off to reconnect to the internet. It starts up the usual connection process and after a while doesnt connect and restarts the connection....

All cables may be secured but the internet signal is not enough to keep the modem latched. When it drops too low, the modem lets go and tries to acquire it again. You need to check all the connections and you may have a screen on the modem setup that shows you the signal strength. Keep in mind that any connection your signal travels through causes a loss of signal and the SPLITTER connections are big loss of signal devices. If you lose 3dB it is half the signal

Laptop drops signal but other doesnt

This issue generally occurs due to the outdated Wireless Driver.

Check for the Updated Wireless Driver for your Computer (in which signal is dropping) and install in the Computer to resolve the issue.

If the Updated Wireless Driver is not available then un-install the Wireless Driver and install it again to resolve the issue.


Good Luck!!!!!!!

Keeps freezing and now my computer doesnt recognize it anymore

Try to use a different USB cable or try to plug your mp3 player to a different computer to check if that's is just the USB connector or the player itself.

I purchase more memory for my sansa e250 player and when i go to download music from my mediaplayer it doesnt recognize that i added more memory

the extra memory is considered a seperate drive and is recognized by your computer. Try moving the files you have from the normal internal memory to your backup drive so that you can download to internal again. (Via your computer and dragging and dropping)
