Broadband downloads stall using wireless router
 

Hi

I hope someone on this forum can help me. I have just got a new laptop and I am having some problems downloading files. I am connecting my laptop wirelessly and didnt have any problems with my old laptop. The download starts ok but after a few minutes the connection seems to stall and no more packets are recieved. I can start downloading other files but it will again stall after a few minutes. When I connect directly to the modem I dont have this problem, and my old laptop worked fine with the same wireless router. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem, I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Rob

I am using an AGK Nordic 54mbps 802.11b/g. It worked fine with my old laptop which was a dell latitude x300 and now i have a dell latitude d620. I have been trying to download programs to install from cnet, and its even struggling to open some websites. My new laptop uses a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Minicard Rev 4.4, Chipset BCM4311/BCM2050

Cheers
Steve

Oh and I should mention that the Virgin Media engineer came round recently and attached a conditioning filter to my modem. Could this have nything to do with it?
