Settings for Wireless LAN

[RMDesai]

Hello, For fast and stable connnection between the wireless modem-router & the Wireless on Laptop, should we leave the default setings for IP address & Gateway & DNS server (Get addresses automatically) or is it better to put in static values? If static values improves connectivity, what should these values be? Thanks & regards, Ravindra.

Hello, My problem is that I am able to connect to the modem or to the internet through the modem nicely and quickly through the ethernet cable. But I am having difficulty even accessing the modem wirelessly, though the modem and the laptop are in the same room.Could it be a problem with the modem or the laptop wifi or am I missing some settings either on the laptop and/ or the modem.Kindly help. Thanks & regards, Ravindra.

Congrats.Open the modem and make a copy of all the existing entries !!!
leave it alone. There is nothing more to adjust , at present.
Use it for a week or so, then post your problem if any.
Presume you have only one computer viz :laptop. and you are able to surf the internet.
In your computer : start run cmd type ipconfig/all
make a note of the entries.

Hello, Sometimes I get connected just like that....Sometimes, even my modem cannot connect to my laptop wirelessly or using ethernet.In short there is lack of consistancy between laptop, modem and internet connection. Any thoughts.... Thanks and regards, Ravindra.

When it worksSAVE for reference 1.Start/run type cmd type IPconfig/all2. Start/network/Lan/ status/properties etc. wireless network / status.3.Open the modem and copy all settings. for reference. 4. Check whether bitswap is selected. 5. Report DSl status to check SNR attenuation figures. to check TF line condition6. Ensure all telephones connected AFTER the splitter. .
