I was thinking today (sorry, again not great with computers), is it possible to get a "splitter"? I was thinking if I could have one, I could run the ethernet cable and split it, one to my tower and one to my router, that way my puter would be hard wired all the time.

Would also help keeping the kids off computer after bed time, just unplug the wireless and mine would still work.

Possibe? If so, might help my connection.

Thank you for your response and help.

I have the MJ plugged straight into my Computer, (it's not MJ plus). I also have a wireless router that my DSL comes into and goes to the computer from there.

Should I plug my MJ in the wireless router? Would that help connection?

1: it's not a MJ+ so you do not have the option directly plugging it into the wireless router.
2: since it's not MJ+, you have not choice but to plug it into your PC.
3: wireless - are you accessing the internet through your wireless connection on the same computer that you have MJ plugged into? If so, can you plug that same computer directly into the router via Cat(5/5e/6) cable and disable your wireless? See if that clears up the connection issue.

I have played MJ both ways - plugged into PC and MJ+ direct to the router. "MY" experience is that my PC being connected to wireless was not as stable with MJ as being connected hard-wired. I have yet to experience an issue with MJ+ connected directly to the router.

I have MJ and have problems sometimes with connections, ie people hearing me. MJ support always does the same thing, unistall and re install, will fix problem, NOT

Thanks in advance.
