So do you want to try and fix the wireless, or are you going to stick with a cable, David?

Just had a look Rik and although the connection strength is excellenthave gone into properites on the connections and it states that no network address has been assigned to this computor ?

Well, we know the basic Windows networking setup is OK, because it works with a cable. We know that the wireless side of two routers is OK because it works with other computers. That suggests that there's either a hardware or software fault with the wireless card, David. I'd suggest your try removing and re-installing its software as a first step. Do you use Windows or the manufacturer's software to make the connection?

What happens if you use the Windows wireless client instead?

David · « **Reply #305 on:** May 15, 2008, 16:40:22 »

Never used this before Rik is it simple ?

If you look in Control panel, you should find a wireless network setup wizard - usually the last icon. Just run that. TBH, I'm not that strong on wireless, I prefer cabled connections, but when I have set up wireless, that's all I've had to do if the drivers are installed properly. Do check the properties for the connection and make sure you have the WLAN transport installed and that, on the wireless network tab, you have "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings" checked.

Well what a challenging day you have had David, I am just catching up with the events but a great result in the end. Well done and

Now just for the record, well whose thread is it anyway

It has to be something electrical switching, but I fear that finding it and curing it are going to be the hard part, Les. Does it happen at weekends too?

It certainly sounds like something local, but finding it could be tough.

It did last Sunday but as it only started on Monday the 5 May this weekend will only be the second one.

I might try rebooting the router on Sunday morning just for the hell of it.

With no one in at home and nothing of mine timed to switch at 9-o-clock it is going to be tough. I guess it could be almost anywhere on the cable route from me to the exchange but if that is the case there must be other folks affected too. Could be a case of put up with it.

Hopefully, it'll be one of those problems that just disappears.
