I have 2WIRE wireless router i have 2 pc's Pentium 4 and 1 stays connected without problems but when i try to connect the other 1 both die on internet connection i'm using a 2WIRE wireless adapter for both computers

the output/ethernet cable from the 2wire comnnects to the WAN port of the router...you should have 4 ports together and one alone...that is the wan port...your computer(s) connect tom the ports numbered 1-4...

start with everything off...start the 2wire...wait 1-2 mins...then star tthe router...wait 1 min...then start the PC...

While changing the name,its not in wireless router.

!.switch off the wireless router.

2.first change the name of the PC.(don't connect to wireless)its normal name changing.

3.Restart the PC.

4.Now enable the DHCP on bothside.

The easiest way to connect to Xbox Live without using your pc is to buy a
wireless network adapter for your Xbox.

You would then go into the system settings on the Xbox and configure the settings for your wireless network.

Xbox 360 - direct to internet - No PC.

However as you said Desktop works fine and this seems to be issue with Wireless Netwrok card of your Laptop try to upgrade drivers of the Wireless netword card opf your laptop and this may possibly resolve the problem..

I would increase the wireless power inside the modem. This will boost the signal allowing it to stay connected more often.

- open IE
- browse to gateway.2wire.net
- homenetwork icon
- wireless settings
- enter your system password
- If your on channel 1 or 11 the power will only be able to go to 4.
- Change to a wireless channel between 2 and 10
- Increase the power to 10
- Save

I was also having trouble with my Netgear wireless n USB adapter connecting to my new at@t 2WIRE gateway. The problem was that the netgear software wouldn't allow my computer to stay connected to my 2WIRE gateway and the software wouldn't allow Windows when restarting my computer. I have Windows XP and after hours with at@t support there was no resolution and they gave me Netgear's suport number to call 1-888-638-4327. After 10 min. the problem was fixed. They had me click start icon at bottom left corner then all programs, then highlight "start up" and if you see anything like netgear adapter or netgear start up wizard right click on it and click delete. That was it! rebooted my computer and it connected automatically!!! I'm not very computer knowledgable but I hope this helped

Try contacting your internet provider for set up instructions.its probably a configuration problem.RICHARDM69

Turn everything off. Router, PC etc. all OFF. Then start the PC, wait 2 mins. Then plug in the power to the router. Then the cable into the PC. Then check fireware [Zone Alarm etc] to see if it is recognised as receiving data. Click on IE or Firefox.
If this fails, do it again Have a coffee break. Remember the cable connects to the broadband and it flows in and out without the dreadful instruction CDs given you.

if this still didnot work, maybe you need to upgrade the firmware of your router

if your wireless connection is not working even if the wireless light is lit up on ur 2wire modem/router....try to delete the 2wire network from the prefered list...go to network connection, right click on wireless netwrok connection, go to properties and click on wireless network..select the 2wire netwrok on the prefered list and remove..reconnect to the network by clicking on view available wireless netwrok and select the 2wire network again...if its asking for a WEP key or password take a look at the bottom on the modem a 10 digits number enclosed in brachets..thats the network or wep key. access 192.168.1.254 and click on home network, got to wireless settings---edit settings...change ur wireless channel to 10 adn power settings to 10, save ur changes=)...ohh and by the way make sure that the wifi switch of ur laptop is turned on=)
