After fidgeting with it for about 5 minutes, and finding it slow both wired and wireless, I went back to my old ss5200 and linksys router. Maybe it's a general problem with the 2web modem?

Good luck,

It's been a while since I set up a wireless router but if I remember correctly you turn off wireless zero configuration and then use the connection software that comes with the wireless card you are using.

intel pro/wireless 3945ABG

i dont know how this is happening

here's what i did:

1. i tried what you said glen, i let wirelees zero config start up normally, then ran network stumbler, but my wireless died...so i closed network stumbler and reconnected wirelessly

2. I had no phones connected, but i decided to connect one phone with one filter

3. i reset the modem (which i've done a million times)

i'm not sure why or how the wireless is working ... damnit... well let's see how long it lasts for]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19021190 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 10:18:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020852 --

but now i have another problem. When I turned off wireless zero configuration I am unable to do connect to my wireless network. ie.

under control pannel, network connections, wireless connections (right click and properties), i am unable to see the "wireless network tab". I can't enter in the SSID, encryption, or key...

I tried the following:
»support.microsoft.com/kb/313242 (If you can view the properties for the Wireless Connection icon, but you do not see a Wireless Networks tab, see the "Drivers That Do Not Support the Wireless Zero Configuration Service" section.)

In the Network Connections folder, right-click Wireless Connection, and then click Properties.

2. Click Configure, and then on the Advanced tab, configure your wireless network by using the available configuration options. The available options and option names may vary depending on the driver manufacturer.

THE PROBLEM IS... I DONT SEE THE BELOW INFORMATION ANYWHERE?! lol blah this sucks

The following list describes the basic configuration options: • Service Set Identifier (SSID): This setting will match the configuration of your wireless access point or router. If you do not have an access point, this value will be the same on all the computers that are in your wireless network.
• Wireless Equivalent Protocol (WEP) or Encryption: Disable WEP on both the access point and in these properties for testing purposes.
• Mode or Network Type: If you have an access point, set this option to Infrastructure. If you do not have an access point and you are connecting computer to computer, set this option to Ad-Hoc.
• Data Rate: Set this option to Auto or to 11 Mbps.
• Power Save: For troubleshooting, set Power Save to Off or to Disabled. After the connection works correctly, you can change this setting.

after turning off wireless zero configuration (»tech.ifelix.net/2000.html)I am unable to connect to my wireless network:

when i go to:
control pannel
network connections
right click on wireless connections and go to properties
i no longer have the wireless networks tab...therefore i no longer can enter in the SSID, encryption, network key etc.

i just turned off wireless zero configuration, anything is worth a try. I'll update you about this. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020606 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:43:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020593
I spent 4 hours and 45 minutes on the phone in 3 days and got the same response from each technician. Not once would they transfer me over to a level 2 and level 3. They would request help from the level 2 or level 3 but that didn't help much either.

I get speeds of (download) 522 kb/s and (upload) 82 kb/s when connected directly into the modem. Wireless I get speeds of about 300 kb/s and 50 kb/s. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020593 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:37:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020588
I was so frustrated on the phone with the technicians who were telling me change this and change that... ie. the channel (1,6 and 11), changing the security (WEP to WPA)... lol that's all they told me. I was like... put me on with someone who knows what they are doing.

then i just ended up asking for their older modems]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020588 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:33:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020563 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19020563 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:25:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19019637 said by bell109 :

If you're running WinXP make sure the service Wireless Zero Configuration is turned off. It has a habit of trying to connect to other wireless connections it sees to get a better connection.

I have the 2wire modem and the total internet performance package. I have no PHONES hooked up in the apartment. the wireless modem is in the same room as my laptop. The connection is perfect and very fast when i'm plugged directly into the wireless modem via ethernet cables. BUT once i go wireless within 2 minutes, the speed slows down to PHONE LINE and eventually disconnects.

Is anyone else getting this problem?

I tried speaking to bell technicians...but they are literally programmed to say the same thing. Such nonsense and frustration. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Sympatico-Total-Internet-Performance-Wireless-Problems-19013789 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 07:55:02 EDT
