We just had internet installed the other day. I can connect just fine via wireless with my laptop, and I have no issues with speed. Some pages will say the server isn't responding. If it does manage to get some of the page, most images will be missing, or the style sheet won't download and she gets a page of unstyled text.
I don't think it is a matter of signal strength. She has the issue both when sitting a foot from the router and when on the opposite side of the house. In both locations, the signal shows full strength, and mine works no matter where I am in the house (including right next to hers).
I've tried restarting the router and her computer with no luck.
Any ideas as to what may be the cause of this and what I can do to fix it?
Additionally: I just tried plugging it straight into the router/modem. It still loads the same page quite a bit slower on her computer plugged in than mine does over wireless.
Does the same problem occur when you try another browser? Could also be some sort of spyware on the laptop. – RJFalconer – 2010-11-25T19:44:42.107
Are you both using the same IP address on your computers? There could be collisions. Check your configuration versus hers. Is the DNS the same? Is the default gateway the same? Try pinging and tracerouting from her computer. – dmah – 2010-11-25T19:47:53.883
