Wireless Problem

I have been using this wireless router for a few years now with no problem. D-link. All of a sudden I can't go on the internet. I can connect with a strong signal, but no internet. I can pick up my next door neighbor and connect using his internet with no problem. I took my laptop to my son-in-laws house and connected to his wireless with no problem. My other desk top computer upstairs picks up my d-link with no problem at all. The only one who can't go on the internet in our house is me. If I hook up the ethernet cable to my computer I get internet. It just won't work with my router, but anyone else can use it with no problem. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,

Sire

Download Xirrus WiFi inspector and see who is around you locally on the same/close channel. Google "802.11" and find the channel piccy on Wikipedia. Move the channel away from anyone else.
Radio interference is a funny thing. Just because one PC can pick up the signal OK doesn't mean another in the same house can. A strong signal means little if it's being interfered with by someone else.

From what you posted it sounds like your PC is set up OK.
