Question

Its hooked up but, my computer is constantly losing internet connection, though. I have to kill the power on the computer and reboot to find my internet connection again, Its really annoying. Is there anyway to fix this.

Answer 2

it could be a lot of things. are you using wirless adapters for the computers? it might be hardware problems, like the adapters, or the router. or it might just be the internet provider's problem. i would reset the router, it should be a little button located at the back of the router, you probably have to push and hold the button for a few seconds with a pen or a pencil. make sure your router is encrypted so other people cant steal your connection. i hope this was helpful to you.

Answer 3

First of is the Linksys WRT54GS router and the wireless DSL modem in the same room. If it is then its very simple, set the DHCP server ip ranges to the dsl modem ranges. if that doesn't work just disable the DHCP server on the Linksys WRT54GS router

Answer 4

I think your problem is that you got 2 cheap computers in stead of 3. Also, you don't have to reboot to find your connection. It's been at my house for the past few days. I've been telling the little bugger to go home but he wouldn't listen.
