Hello, I recently put together a wireless network in my home using a Netgear router #MR814v2. (wireless B). This router allows for up to 4 wired connections and also numerous wireless connections. My internet connection is a 128K cable hookup. I actually have 2 PCs that are wired with CAT 5E and 2 that are wireless. One of the wireless is a laptop and the other a desktop. The problem I'm having is with the wireless PCs that I have attached. Alot of the time when trying to access a web page I get the message "This page cannot be displayed". If I hit refresh, it might go to the page then or I might have to hit refresh 5 or 6 times. Sometimes I even just close the window completely and start over. With the wired PCs, every once in a while but not very often do I get that error message. My wife uses the wireless desktop to log onto her email at Hotmail.com and has the problem EVERY time (she says). Her Desktop has a wireless USB adapter made by Netgear, #MA101. The router and her PC are in the same room and the signal strength is at 100%. I'm tempted to just buy a longer CAT 5 cable and make hers a wired PC also. The laptop I use all over the house. It has a Linksys card which has trouble linking up to the router but once I get it connected, it stays and has good signal strength but I get the stupid error message more than I think I should, at least more than the wired PCs. Is there any settings that you know of that I can change in the router that might help this issue? Or do you have any suggestions that I might try? One person told me to put the router down lower in the room (it's on top of my desk, approx. 4 1/2 ft high) I moved it to the desktop (2 1/2 ft. high) but didn't seem to help.
