Hi Guys,
Just after a bit of advice please.
This router was installed last Sunday and seems to be working
fine on the laptop and xbox 360.
I think there may be a problem with our desktop pc though.
It is already wireless enabled (card built in).
When looking at the connection icon on the desktop it seems to be giving eratic wireless signals and we dont know if this is normal.At the time of typing this it is giving 48mps,then 54 mps and then could drop within seconds to 12,24 and then back up to 54mps.
We are on 4meg Virgin with westar camble modem. The settings of the router have been tweaked by our cousin, and channels changed etc, but still the same.
Is this a problem? Should we exchange for maybe a Linksys at pc world, or is this normal?
I wonder if because the router has 7 internal aerials that this is a problem perhaps.
Any input from you experts would be great please.
Many Thanks
