Wireless internet HELP

[The Boosh!]

Right the problem:

We have got 2 laptops and 1 PC. they are linked to a router, which is linked to a wireless thing which is linked to a modem.

The internet was running really really slow, but we found when we removed the router it was really fast.

so we bought a dongle to make the pc downstairs wireless, and removed the router so now we have the modem connected to the wireless modem like thing.

problem is now, its only letting 1 laptop/pc connect to the internet at one time, but allows them all to connect to the network.

whats wrong? any ideas?

it's a bit difficult to understand from your explanation, can you be a bit more specific?
You have a PC, is this hard-wired to the router and then you run two wireless laptops?

 

[The Boosh!]

Hi mate,

The pc is hard wired to the router yes, we ran a cable to it. the laptops are both wireless.

we ditched to router, and bought a wireless dongle thing for the PC so it could connect to the internet wirelessly with our 2 laptops.

now it wont let more than one connect to the net

 

[172boost]

so do you have a wireless card/dongle in the back of your PC and a modem hard wired into the PC aswell? Or do you have a wireless broadband dongle?

 

[The Boosh!]

This is what we have plugged into the PC

And as far as im aware the PC internet was hardwired to the router, and the router was connnected to the modem.

BEFORE

AFTER

 

[The Boosh!]

anyone know why its not working

 

[The Boosh!]

took everything to bits and its still not working. only letting 1 at a time connect. someone must know?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by the wireless box. Surely your router is wireless. Is it cable broadband you have??

 

[The Boosh!]

yes mate...

the wireless box thing isn't a router, it just makes the broadband wireless.

Modem - router - wireless box.

This is the wireless box : netgear something or other

but we have now got rid of the router, and just have the above and the modem

 

[Adam]

right so now you have the cable modem > wireless router.

can you connect either a laptop or pc to the above via the ethernet cable and get a connection???

 

[The Boosh!]

do you mean a direct cable link from the wireless modem to my laptop?

 

[Adam]

yeah

 

[DrR]

WTF type of set up is that in the first pic.

 

[The Boosh!]

yeah

yeh it connects but still cant get more than one pc to connect to the net

WTF type of set up is that?

Fukc knows mate, i didn't do it, the internet company did. we had hardwired internet but then we got laptops and waned the thing to be wireless and was told to buy the above.

 

[Pettsi]

Wireless is always going to be slower than a hardwired connection.

Are you getting any error message's at all? I'm thinking IP conflicts.

 

[The Boosh!]

nah petts, no error messages, nothing. all connect to the network, just only 1 is allowed on the internet :S

if the setup above lookes fuckeries, what should the proper one be then ?

 

[Pettsi]

The second setup you have is fine for home use. Run ipconfig /all from cmd and see if the ip address's are different.
