i had recently gotten a laptop for christmas and just yesterday my wireless router stopped working. so i traded it in for a new one - the same brand and everything, and now this one's not working. i call dsl since that's my internet provider and they said it wasn't dsl and that it was the router. does anyone know of a good router that i can buy and this problem won't occur??
the router is a belkin, the laptop is compaq, and the computer is dell.... does anyone know of a good router where this won't happen?

idk the causes. maybe it's just the brand of the router. i got the same exact one again, at the same store...

does your laptop have wireless card installed?, check your computer first to see if it can communicate with your router.
If not, you'll need to add a wireless adapter for each device you want to operate wirelessly; for just basic home network I'd
recommend Netgear WGR614 54Mbs ($90.00), or NETGEAR RangeMax Next Draft-N Router WNR834B ($130.00).

Linksys wireless routers work very well. Give it a shot. But I think your dsl provider doesn't know what's wrong, so they just assume it's the router, because they can't come up with anything else. Look into it more.

A on the spot modem router could be a on the spot router/modem blend and a on the spot router might basically be a router with the help of itself. in case you had severe-velocity cable cyber web you will possibly choose a modem linked to a on the spot router to get online.

My company changed from cables to D-link Airplus wireless router but we faced frequent connection problems. When I contacted our service provider and IT personnels, I was told that wireless routers are rather unstable and if there're other users using the same kind of router, they can actually tap into your line thus causing interruptions. Recently we changed back to cables and the problem ceased.

What causes you to think the router just stopped working? And then a second router just stops working?
It don't sound likely. So provide more information and maybe we can sort it out.
