does wired and wireless lan both turn on on your laptop **** up your wireless connection. cause for the past week i couldnt connect to my wireless router unless i was really close to it. and last weekend i couldnt get close to it at all(locked area of building) and ruined my whole weekend and during this week i was reseting my router many times trying to get my strong signal back from the distance i ussualy i am at. al of a sudden i look in my acer performance thingy and notice wired and wireless lan both on and turned off wired lan cause im only wireless and all of a sudden i got my seed and signal strength back to he way it used to be(11mbps,low strength). like wtf something that minor ****** me up? i was asking Q's here all week trying to get possibilitys why i had just stopped connection. maybe when i networked my desktop to laptop to send stuff that caused the wired lan to turn on? and not back off?

Bridging is definitely a possible root cause here. Your laptop could be acting as a bridge for your PC once you had set different IP addresses for the Internet connection and your local network (PC to laptop), but you shouldn't be noticing any lag unless your PC was turned on and you are wired in from laptop to PC. If that's the case, then your PC might have some applications that were querying (or worse, downloading from) the internet, for example, for updates to Windows, anti-virus, etc.
Another possibility is that you may have multiple applications on your laptop that have different default connections configured. For example, you may have your IE configured to use the wireless connection as default whilst having Yahoo! Messenger use the LAN as default. Thus when both are on, they're both going different directions to get the data and when one side is not getting it, it causes lag and interruptions to your machine's processing. Check all internet-enabled applications to make sure they're all set to use the wireless connection by default.

Check if you have ANY network bridge set up, you are better to uninstall bridging for normal use. Some wireless utilities have a facility to disable the card when a wired lan is present, this should only operate on cable connect or disconnect.

on the spot you could nicely be waiting to upward thrust as much as 1500 ft on a clean flat piece of land or a huge room. you could run approximately 1000ft earlier you like a repeater for a under pressure out cat5e LAN. So i might say the on the spot LAN has a greater effective variety from a suitable element. yet, if there are obstructions like partitions, the under pressure out LAN could have a greater effective variety. ...yet in spite of, under pressure out is a lot faster.

Well I guess your wired adapter and your wireless adapter were having an interupt issue or something with each other. I have both enabled and active and dont have that problem nor have I seen that.. So I took a note.. Thanks for the tip. It SHOULD NOT HAPPEN however. ( You dont have those two adapters bridged by any chance do you?)
