Loss of wireless connectiva​ty 6600 aio, on a new biuld

 Hi
I'm using the officejet 6600 all in one on a windows pc win 7pro 64 bit, I can't seem to hold the connection so to print.
I was able to install the printer without any problems. but once the USB cable is removed and i go wireless that there is a cocnnection loss.  Both pc and printer are set up on same network and the " wireless network test" shows the wireless as  ON. and working. and the print display dose show the sold blue light as on.
I have uninstalled it complet and re install without any luck. DL all the latest software and drivers and also flashed the firmware on the printer. I also tried the print doctor and read up a tone on here and other web sites. 
firewall off and both in same homegroup

hi   and thanks for the help.
Yup tried that one. 
tried it again and failed. Said there was a driver conflict and to un/reinstall.
It installs, it connects to the network I get to run Fix print where it gose to look for the printer. but never finds it.
printer says it;s connected and the blue light is on. i also get to put in the ip address of the printer but it is unable to find it.
mac filter is off and so is the firewall and the pc and printer are on the same network
also I am unable to surf to the printer with it's IP address.
Using a linksys wrv-200 router
 I remved it and reinstalled under a USB connection, was able to print test page but when i run the Doc software it says that there is still a driver conflict.

    Wi-Fi or another interference source. Try turning off the Wi-Fi and see if the problems continue. If that solves the problem, see if you can set your Wi-Fi to run in the 5 GHz range.

  • Unable to set static IP to wireless printer Officejet 6600

    First sorry my poor english, still keep trying  We do have an HP Officjet 6600 Printer for about 6 months.This printer has USB and WLAN, but no LAN port. We used the printer until 2 weeks ago. At that time, **bleep** starts ...As long as we used the printer, he was connected via Automated WLAN (DHCP) and everything worked fine.The printer was connected to our WLAN Modem which assigned the DHCP IP Adress automatically.Then, our Internet provider updated our cable modem, which is also our WLAN router, and since that time, the printer does not work anymore. He always shows an error after booting, and told us to restart the printer, and all lamps of the printer are continously blinking. There is no way to access the printer menus on the printer.After a long and intensiv internet research, i found out that the cable modem is responsible for the printer error!It looks like the WLAN DHCP Server of the cable modem sends DHCP messages, which the printer cannot use correctly. If I shut down the modem (with the integrated WLAN router), the printer boots normal without an error, but I cannot use him becaused he is not connected to WLAN as because the modem is offline.So I wanted to set the printer to not use DHCP by assigning static IP to the printer. But this does not work! I tried 10 times or more to assign static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS-Server, no way, the printer always show "IP not set" (same for the others). Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to set static IP, Gateway etc. to the printer?!Thanks for every suggestion. 

    Hi , Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I understand you are having some difficulty modifying your network settings. Since you now have a new cable modem, let's start with a more basic approach. Please use the following document for instruction to reset the printer to your new network settings: Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless Network.  You may notice, when you open the link, that the full title mentions the Photosmart B209a, the instructions presented apply to your printer to so please don't be alarmed. I hope this helps.

  • How to minimise speed loss through wireless network?

    I have recently had a new fibre-optic broadband installation installed & the network speed (via speedtest.net) is an impressive 3-400Mb/sec download & 100+Mb/sec upload, although these are only achievable with my MacBook Pro connected directly to the supplied router with a gigabit ethernet cable. Connecting with the ethernet cable to the nearby Airport Extreme gives a slight loss, but still gives 300+Mb/sec. However, going wireless results in a huge speed loss down to about 50Mb/sec close by and down to about 20Mb/sec max (often only 5-10 Mb/sec) in my office, in a separate building about 30 feet away in which the network is extended by an Airport Express.
    This Airport Express is version A1264 which Wikipedia tells me is b/g/Draft N standard. Will I get any better connection speeds if I upgrade to the A1392 dual-band version?
    Don't read this as my being huffy about the slowness of 20+Mb/sec, when most people can't get this - I was on about 2-3 Mb/sec until the recent installation and am more than pleased with the speed but want to get the best from the potential that is there.

  • Loss of wireless connection with 350n

    I am having a terrible time with loss of connection with my 350 N wireless router. The router itself is on top of a bookshelf less than 50 feet away from both of my wireless desktops, and faces straight down the hallway that both rooms the computers are in open from. Often when I start up my computer it refuses to acknowledge that there is a wireless network present in the house and the only way I can make it detect it is if I powercyle the router--which is a pain. Even sitting directly next to the router it will never recognize better than 85% signal strength. And when I load (not play, just initiate loading) download-heavy content such as streaming video or an MMORPG program the connection will often drop and then reconnect seconds later. Upon performing a speed test it unfailingly indicates that my upstream is twice as fast as my downstream, which reads at only around 1165 Mbps--which is absurd as my modem is provisioned for and often surpasses 16000Mbps. What on earth is going on and what can I do to overcome it? I'm getting desperate here.

    I have fixed my problem by upgrading the router firmware to version 1.03.7 from version 1.03.5.
    The issue I had upgrading the router was it would fail at about 80% when using the router to do the upgrade soooooo, this is how I did it ( stolen from another thread )
    Be warned!  If you do the below and you have custom setting on the router you need to write those setting down first!!!!!!
    1. Download tftp.exe using this link (ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe)
    2. Download the new firmware (version 1.03.7) at Linksys download site
    3. Reset your router by pushing and holding the reset button in the rear for 30sec
    4. Configure a static IP address (192.168.1.50 with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0) on YOUR PC
    5. Connect a network cable from your PC to your router
    6. Test that your PC is talking to the router by openning a DOS window and type "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the paranthesis) and you should get 3 replies.
    7. Double click on the tftp.exe
    8. Type in the IP Address for the Server: 192.168.1.1
    9. Password is "password" (WITHOUT the paranthesis)
    10. For the BIN file, click on the square-button and browse to the BIN file that you've downloaded from the LinkSys Site (WRT350N_1.03.7_US_code.bin)
    11. Click on Upgrade
    12. After the upgrade is successful, perform the reset, again. IMPORTANT!!!! PUSH AND HOLD THE RESET BUTTON FOR 30sec then let go.
    13. POWER light should be blinking during boot up then stay SOLID
    14. Now, change YOUR PC IP seeting back to what they were before you started this process.
    15.  Start InternetExploder and surf the net
    16. GOODLUCK!!!
    As soon as I did this, my laptop wireless started working 100% and right away.

  • Loss of Wireless Connectivity

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having a major problem with my wireless network. At random intervals, I notice my wireless network speed (54mbps) slowly decrease from 54 -> 48 -> down to -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 -> dies. My wireless router then goes off for anywhere between 10s to 10 minutes, or sometimes it can even be down for 45 minutes.
    I've encountered this ever since I moved my PC from across my room, though I believe it happened rarely before hand as well. Ive since tried using programs to determine the best connection (which Ive finally achieved). Also due to the building, I cannot run a wired line to my computer. My computer sits about 25-30 feet away from the router, almost a 45 degree angle above it (2nd floor, router access point is on the 1st).
    Another note: Its not just my personal computer that loses wireless, the entire network dies at the same time. Though, the WIRED network that is connected to the router receives no interuption. I have exchange students that board at my house from time to time, along with the other main computer that resides in the room with the router, and neither receive connection hiccups or loss of network bandwidth. Also during this time my Wireless PCI card in my tower can still detect other networks (though very weak due to range)
    As a thought, my router was about 2 years old, so I recently upgraded it from WRT54G to a WRT300N. The issue is just as frequent.
    As for specifics:
    Network:
    Old Router: WRT54G (2 1/2 years old)
    New Router: WRT300N
     -- Router runs WEP encrypt, Ive recently turned off MAC filtering, tested both Channel 1 and Channel 10 (6 is overloaded with 2-3 other routers in the area).
    Wiress PCI Card: WMP54GS (90% sure I have the Speedbooster Version)
     -- My PCI card has a 7db antenna attached on a 1.5m chord.
    Cable Modem (About 8 years old, unfortunately)
    Computer Setup
    Windows XP Pro 32bit
    ZoneAlarm Firewall / AVG Virus Scanner
    Intel Quadcore @ 2.4ghz / 2gb Ram @1066 / Dual Harddrives
    Side Note: I live about 100-200 metres away from a Canadian Forces Naval Base. I hadn't had any major connection issues prior to moving my computer 16 feet over to the other corner of my room, but unsure if military base could provide wireless interuptions as Im describing.
    The only other thing I can think of at this time is range, as Ive gotten my connection down to a 30 based Signal to Noise ratio (Used Netstumbler to determine)
    Also plan to upgrade my PCI card to N shortly, though depending.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    -David Bright

    I cannot confirm that other Wireless routers in my area share this same issue. I haven't tried to update firmware yet, as from the few I had talked to you generally don't want to touch something like that until a last resort.
    I use a program called "Netstumbler" to detect other networks around me. As best as I can tell, when my router disappears off the grid, a lot of other routers do as well. I've used Channel 1 on G frequencies because the average number is as follows:
    Channels:
    1 - 1 person (me)
    6 - 4 people (unknown)
    11 - 1 person (close neighbour).
    As to which neighbours are using wirless routers, Im unsure. About 30 meters away from my router, as mine unfortunately is placed agaisnt the house wall, is a complex that houses about 20-25 families. My computer also shares the same wall, but a floor above (like stated) for connectivity.
    As for firmware, I believe I'll have a look into which Im running and hopefully update. I think it might not hurt even looking into an update for my PCI card as well.
    Anymore help regarding this issue is appreciated. Thank you

  • Detect loss of wireless connection

    GOAL : physicians in a hospital getting access to web-based JSP content through a Pocket PC browser(IE) and wireless connectivity. We already have the "normal-size" JSP pages for desktop computers and we'd like just to provide a reduced version of theses pages to browse on a PDA.
    PROBLEM : Even with a well designed WLAN with good access point placement, you may experience connection loss. And it's a problem when browsing JSP pages : imagine submitting a form when you're suddenly offline : you'll get a 404 or something similar -> not serious.
    QUESTION : If I port our application in the Personal Profile Xlet framework, Would it be possible to detect connection loss in an Xlet or somewhat... then it could set the rest of the app to work in a kind of degraded mode. How can we manage that ?

    You could have a thread which is dedicated to managing the apparent connectivity. It connects to a well known location, if it cannot connect then you are assumed to be disconnected and the application should downgrade. The routines that handle networking should be able to fail gracefully and not generate exceptions which would terminate the program. As an example you can update your stocks whenever theres a connection but if there isn't one you can always show the value and the last time it was successfully retrieved.

  • My mac is causing loss of wireless connectivity on pc's

    Okay so i have a new macbook and the airport card appears to be working fine. my friend has a new sony vaio. I can connect to their wireless network just fine, but for some reason, when i connect, even if it turn air port off, the vaio will not connect to the wireless network. It recognizes the network and shows full signal strength, but reports that there is limited connectivity and will not browse the internet. I have tried a lot of things such as restarting the viao, disconnecting and reconnecting to the network, but the only thing that seems to work is to unplug the wireless router and then plug everything back in. Does anyone know of a reason air port would cause this type of interference? Thank you so much!

  • TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

    I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
    My setup:
    1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
    1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
    1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
    1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
    1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
    1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
    The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
    The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
    The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
    Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
    It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
    Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
    From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
    The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
    i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
    ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
    iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
    iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
    Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
    Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
    Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
    The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
    So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
    When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
    The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
    Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
    - downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
    - turning off wireless security; no difference at all
    - changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
    - changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
    - rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
    - reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
    I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
    In other words, HELP!
    I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
    The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
    From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
    It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
    Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
    My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
    Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

    Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
    I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
    I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
    Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

  • Update to 10.4.6 causes loss of wireless mouse

    I just updated to 10.4.6, and now my Apple Wireless Mouse doesn't work correctly. It shows in the list of bluetooth-connected devices, and the button functions, but moving the mouse does not move the cursor.
    Have tried starting from scratch multiple times. In Bluetooth Setup Assistant, turning on the mouse produces flashes from the mouse LED as usual, until the Assistant announces that the connection is successfully established, when the LED goes out, and stays out. Neither moving the mouse on a surface, nor waving something past the optical sensor causes the LED to emit. Hence, I've now got a working bluetooth mouse button, but no mouse.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    Hi
    I remember a few people with this problem after updating - but having searched briefly, I can't find a specific fix.
    However - I do suggest you download & apply the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
    The combo update does seem to fix a number of different issues that users have had after installing the standard 10.4.6 update.... so it's certainly worth a try.

  • Sudden slowness and loss of wireless connection to PC

    I've used my Dell laptop on my Airport Extreme wireless network without problem for two years. Yesterday, after installing an HP 8500 printer on the network, my PC became extraordinarily slow on the network, and kept losing its connection. I haven't been able to get it fixed. I've reinstalled the airport extreme, I've reset the cable modem and have turned my firewall off, but nothing has worked. I also uninstalled the printer, but that didn't help either. Any ideas for other things I can try? The imac and iphones connected to this network are still functioning fine, as is the printer, which I've now re-installed. It's just my Dell laptop that is not. Oh, btw, I took the laptop to a wireless hotspot this afternoon, and had no problem connecting to that network.

    Update: Reverted to firmware version 7.4.2 and the problem was instantly solved. Hallelujah!

  • Gradual failure of wireless connectivi​ty in Windows XP on T61 ThinkPad

    My computer has gradually been getting worse about connecting to wireless internet, and now it seems to have completely stopped.  Perhaps it is a hardware issue and the wireless card has just become broken, but I don't know how to check whether that's the case.  I don't know whether these are typical symptoms, and I don't know the correct terminology to search the internet for, because for everyone else asking about similar things it seems to be correlated with some change in software, whereas mine just seems spontaneous.
    The computer is a Lenovo T61 Thinkpad from 2008, running Windows XP SP2.
    Until the past couple of days, the computer would usually connect to the internet fine, but sometimes (and in some physical locations almost all the time; this started a few months ago, but was primarily associated with one physical location until a few weeks ago) the green wifi indicator light icon thing right below the screen would be off.  When that happened, sometimes restarting the computer would fix it, but probably not most of the time.  Sometimes I could right-click the wireless-icon in the system tray (a little computer monitor with green waves coming out of it) and click "Repair", and that would fix it maybe half the time (though sometimes it would take a few tries).  When I would click "Repair", it would go through the "disabling wireless network adapter", "enabling wireless network adapter" (at which point the wifi indicator light almost always would turn on), "connecting to the wireless network", "renewing your IP address" (at this point the indicator light would sometimes turn off again; if it didn't turn off, then the connection would work, but often only for a few seconds or a few minutes before breaking again), "clearing the [DNS?] cache", and "registering with the DNS".  Then it would say that it had repaired the connection, it would show that it was connected to the network, but (if the indicator-light had turned off) the system-tray icon would not be flashing back and forth between blue and gray, it would just stay gray.  When I right-clicked on the system-tray icon and clicked "View Available Wireless Networks", it would show all the networks, and label the one I'm connected to as "Connected", but there wasn't any network traffic, web pages wouldn't load, email program said it failed to connect, etc.  If I tried to connect to a different network, it would say that the network was no longer available and I should refresh the network list, but refreshing the list didn't change anything.
    Occasionally the wireless-icon in the system tray would be completely absent.  In those cases, sometimes I could go to Control Panel -> Network Connections and there would be an icon for the wireless connection, and when I would double-click that, it would say "Enabling ..." and then "Connection Failed!" (this method was never able to enable it).  Other times, the wireless connection isn't even listed there.
    Anyway, as of yesterday, the indicator light never turns on, and as of today, the system-tray icon and the "wireless connection" listing under Network Connections are also gone.  The wireless adapter is also not listed in the Device Manager (I don't know whether it was before, I didn't check).
    I called Lenovo tech support, and they said they weren't allowed to give me specific help because the computer isn't under warranty anymore, but they said it was likely a hardware issue.  They advised running the ThinkVantage System Update as a first step, which I did, and that had no effect.
    So, should I just buy a new wireless card, or is there something else I should try first?

    Hello,
    I wonder if the ThinkPad T61 downloaded any updates while it was on the wired network?  If so, perhaps one of them was a device driver update for the wireless network card.

  • Loss of wireless radio control via Fn+F5 - without Access Connection​s

    Hi everyone,
    I run Windows XP on my X41. I do not have Access Connections installed, and I do not wish to install it. I have recently updated my wireless drivers, and have since lost the ability to control the power settings via Fn+F5. When I press Fn+F5, the following is displayed:
    Change Power Settings of Wireless Radios
     Unable to change power state of 802.11 Wireless Radio.
    Update the driver for the wireless adapter.
    I have removed and re-installed the hotkey, wifi and power management software, to no avail.
    Any help would be welcome.
    Also, can anyone explain what the different utilities that come with the Intel PROSet achieve? Specifically, WMI support.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, in my experience you need the ProSet portion of the Wireless driver installed to activate the Fn+F5 functionality. Installing the ProSet provides the AEGIS protocol for the wireless card.
    If you check in the Properties of the Wireless card (through Control Panel>>Network Connections and right click the wireless connection) you should see the AEGIS protocol in the item list of the 'General' tab. If the protocol is not present try running the ProSet install of the wireless driver, and check the protocol is present, and this should fix the problem of Fn+F5.
    Hope this helps.

  • Wireless connectivi​ty on PC boot up - solved for ...

    I solved my Wireless connectivity problem. Apologies if this is a well known solution but I switched off BT FON. My wireless connection now works everytime and after a long weekend checking it out, its 100% stable. Don't say this will work for everyone or anyone with wireless connectivity problems but I thought I would re-post to share this result as my original post was moved to the Infinity forum.
    Original Post
    I’m getting wireless connectivity problems between my PC and the BTHub3. After booting the computer I find I have no connectivity at all. The message I receive when attempting to manually connect is
    ‘The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network’
    This hasn’t always been the case. The issue seems to have started within the last month. Normally connectivity would be made almost instantly. Frustratingly, I can connect to other (unsecured) BT networks in the neighbourhood. Other local networks (secured and unsecured) even appear to have a stronger signal than that from my router, if the number of bars are to be believed.
    I am using a Linksys wireless adapter. Settings for security are WPA2 Personal and Encryption type AES.
    I have systematically tried
    -          deleting and recreating profiles
    -          re-entering passwords
    -          rebooting the Hub
    -          rebooting the PC
    -          changing channels
    -          changing the BT hub ( new hub, vanilla settings)
    Nothing appears to make an impact. If I wait anything between half an hour to an hour eventually everything connects even if I have not touched a single setting. Initially I believed it was a PC/PC adapter issue. But I took a look at the connectivity on my Blackberry and also my Kindle – same issue. So I now believe that something is not set correctly in the router (or unbelievably two routers have failed).
     But where to look – Suggestions?

    If it supports PPPoE, and has a WAN port, or the facility to map one ot its LAN ports, then you could use it.
    It may also be possible to use the device as a wireless access port.
    I am moving this to the Infinity board, as you have an Infinity and not an ADSL connection.
