I purchased a router. I hooked up two computers. Everything is fine until I try to watch streaming videos. It doesn't matter what the source (yahoo video clips, nbc.com, movies on the web), whenever I have both computers hooked up and try to watch streaming video clips, they play for 30 seconds, then they freeze up. When I disconnect the router, and only have one computer hooked up to the DSL, everything is fine.
Why does this happen and how can I fix it.
This is the fourth revision of this question. I hope I have all the details this time.

Your ADSL probably does not have the bandwidth to support two streams, I would bet.

Are you trying to watch videos on both computers at the same time, just one, or it doesn't matter? If this happens when only trying on one computer and based on what you posted, I would think that it is a router problem. The bandwidth limits may be configured on your router. You can try resetting the router settings. If it only happens when streaming with both computers at the same time, then I agree that there is some type of limit placed by your Internet Provider

is it the type that can only send 1 path out at a time??
or is it made to send multiple streams out -
that was my mistake with my first purchase
I could hook 5 units up - but only send to one at a time
all the best
