The WiFi in my on campus apartment sucks,someone told me I should get a wireless router and connect it via the Ethernet port but I don't know what kind I should get. It would be used for my laptop and phone.

Yes, because if you receive low signal rate you should get Router, better connect the LAN or ISP cable to the router and configure the router to give access to certain devices only.

If you see routers manual that is easy to configure the router and don't forget to assign the security key because if that is an open network anyone can access your Internet until they are in your WiFi range.

but when ever you should know that if your home is spread in large area better research on Internet and buy the better one. Many people don't know which router we should buy they will get the kind of router that are low in price and then it not functions correctly.

To be frank I bought a router firstly which I don't know about it and it cannot not spread area in long, if connected disconnects automatically, connects back again and then I researched on Internet got the best router.

So look I have Comcast 150 mpbs,  Using a net gear router. So I tested my speed Ethernet and wireless at the same time But here is one thing why is my Ethernet speed same as wireless speed. Btw got 6 devices connected, 3 wired and 3 wireless,  all them get 156 upload, and 150 download, So can some tell me why I have the same speed for wire and wireless.

Here what happens is the Internet speed for WiFi depends on the WiFi Signal and lets say that you have 5 point signal in your smartphone and the speed is full that which actually your internet have. If the WiFi signal strength is good or normal or poor you may experience the Internet Speed fluctuations or speed decreases.

Until you have a Excellent signal strength you don't face any Internet speed problems.

No need to worry about the speed as you are getting the speed as your Internet Service Provider promised, and your router is also working perfectly?

But for the LAN you may don't experience the Internet Speed problems.

I upgraded my internet from 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps  The speed has increased a little bit but not much. I just did the speed test and my download speed is 2.4 Mbps and the upload speed is 0.7 Mbps  This is only a slight improvement from when I was only paying for 3 Mbps  Shouldn't my download speed be around 6 Mbps now? I have AT&T U verse and the 6 is the highest speed they offer for my area currently. I am working on a desktop connected wireless. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked with your connection settings because if you told your ISP to upgrade and check the details after login to the broadband connection.

as every Internet connection provider is providing the details of the speed and usage of the Internet. In the package details you have to check whether it was upgraded or not. If it is showing that 6 Mbps you need to have to contact customer care for this slow speed.

One more thing is to check whether the downloads are running in background or not. Your Internet will be slow because if the background downloads are running, exit or close that programmes.

After once test the Internet connection speed, lots of providers check the internet speed best is that speedtest.net. go with it.

May your PC is infected with virus or trojans once clean with any good antivirus programmes and then check your Internet connection speed.

I have 2 lap tops ,why do I have to always enter my passwords when there supposed to be saved? for easy access....

If you are using only one browser every time and the laptops which you are using maintaining privacy so you can enable auto forms option in the browser settings.

So if you enable these options you will be asked to save the passwords but remember when you share your laptop the passwords are automatically gets filled when any one select your ID from the drop down and here privacy matters.

So many third party software's are also available to save all the passwords and forms, If you are using any Mozilla  chrome or Internet explorer you can find the extensions or plugins in their market places. Some browsers are providing many tools like profiles so you need to know how to use profiles........here by default one profile is created called 'profile1' and after create a 'profile2' if you are using the profile 2 for browsing, all other forms filling, saving the passwords...etc

In my opinion that saving passwords into browsers is a bad way because if you save your common email passwords that might be ok but if you save banking passwords, credit card tokens..etc that is very bad thinking. If you are using use these tools to a certain limit.

I got a dell laptop yesterday and I am trying to connect it to my wireless Internet so if someone can help me that would be great.

Once check whether the drivers are installed or not and you can go to device manager by right clicking on my computer, click manage and then check in the device manager whether is there ? marks are there or not.

If there the drivers or not installed, so I suggest you to download the drivers from the dell official website.

Make sure the router is turned on and once keep a open network so you will come to know whether the WiFi is working or not and after keep wps/wpa2 password to be secure so none other device can access.

If you have problem with the router you can hard reset the router, if not worked connect through LAN so you will come to know whether the problem of your laptop WiFi or LAN or the router's.

Once you have ever connected to Internet make sure you have good security software's like Avast, Norton and McAfee...etc because if you have a better security software you Laptop protected.

Just all of a sudden my computer disconnected from the router, and whenever it tried to reconnect it would just have limited access and would not have any internet access. I tried restoring my computer and nothing really happened. Right now I can connect to other internet connections fine, but when I try to join my regular router it just keeps connecting for a second then disconnects itself and keeps connecting and never works. I'm not sure if its the router's problem, as both my other computer and my phone can connect fine to the internet on my regular router

Once check with the router settings because if your ISP is providing any dynamic IP or DNS assigned IP address the router automatically detects and assigns the certain IP to the connected devices and once check with the router before connections.

If the ISP providing the static IP address you need to enter the IP address, DNS, and gateway in the router settings it should be configured then only it allows the Internet to the connected devices.

One more option is that where the router has some qos services like where you can specify mac address you need to connect to Internet and check whether QOS is disabled or not. It disconnecting automatically which means the problem is associated with the router and hard reset the router, to configure the router follow the router manual.

May be your system is infected with the virus and clean the whole system with any security programme or the network drivers are not functioning properly

I turned on wifi and scanned for networks. A couple of unlocked networks came up, I don't know if it was theirs, but I tried connecting to those, it got through but then brought me to a bunch of companies like time warner cable, xfinity....etc, and asked me for a username and password, is this normal? is all unlocked wifi hotspots like this? I don't have any WiFi accounts, how can I connect? any help is appreciated. thank you.

When I visited on the road and I turned on Wifi found so many networks some are secured and some are not. When I try to connect to Internet, it is connected and once after checking whether Internet is working or not, it worked.

After checking the details of the wifi network they did not assign the network key and so anyone access. Some networks are asking me user id and password and login page is opening, may be that login page is created by them. I found that it is Star hotel, when I checked that if you are into that hotel they will provide a user id and password until we are in that hotel and for customer they are setting the session times.

Not all hotspots are secured or non secured, if that is a mall you can avail free internet.

I want to open Mozilla Firefox (internet) then my computer stopped working so I press the off button and when I press it again to restart..advance start up option appear because I didn't shut down properly.But when I use the option it doesn't work and appear a stop error code: 0x0000007B(0xF88DB524,0xC0000034,0x00000… and stop error code:0x0000007B (0xF89A6524, 0xC0000034, 0x… can't use any of those option..What should I do?

There might be lot of infected files in you windows, Your pc is infected with virus and trojans...etc. Once check or remember that you might have downloaded any attachments from mails that may contain virus or trojans etc and that too you have downloaded that file from Mozilla Firefox.

I think you don't have any good antivirus, Firstly install Trojan Remover on you system as Mozilla doesn't opens and download the trojan remover using trojan remover and install it scan the whole computer but before that disconnect from internet. There is a option called reset windows policies and internet explorer policies..etc and reset all them. Install the Avast antivirus they provides 1 year free license and scan the whole computer.

If your system is not booting up, once reinstall the windows or contact the system administrator.

There may be several problems that shock wave objects crashes in Google chrome. Once you need to check that may be in past your system is infected with virus...etc. You have cleaned your system with antivirus, but you need to know that the virus present in the system in the past might have infected your daily using programmes like browsers, games and applications..etc. you need to check whether it is working fine or not after cleaning your system. If not working properly you will find these type of errors "shock wave object not responding or crashed" or Chrome automatically closes and sends error reports to Google and after the Google chrome slows down. I have faced this problem from the past and just uninstall and reinstalling the process is going on....

If you have faced this problem, you need to follow these steps:-

In address bar of chrome type about:plugins.

Plugins page will open, on the top right click on the details

find the shock wave player object and click on disable it. What we are doing here is the plugin which contained in the Google chrome is not functioning correctly and we are disabling it. we are getting the 3rd party plugin.

Restart Google chrome and download the adobe flash player from the adobe website and plugin will be added to Google chrome.

That's it, your chrome will work.

I wanted to clean up the disk so I scheduled a boot-time scan from Avast Antivirus. Normally, my files stay secured after boot-time scanning, but for some reason, I lost some documents and completely wiped out by virus. It's fresh and all, but the problem is that hardware resets to its original position every time, When I restarting the laptop. While it was rebooting, I deleted all the viruses infected and wonder if this has to do anything with this issue.

How do stop my laptop from re-rebooting every single time! Please help me. This is really annoying.

Avast is a good antivirus programmes that detects threats if you have a Full version of software. Avast providing the free version of it's antivirus programme with 1 year license, but you need to know why. The free version of Avast has limited features. If you install it detects threats up to the signature's level. Better Buy the full version to enjoy all the features.

Already you have scheduled boot time scan, It scans boot files...if any threat found it cleans and restarts your computer. Better Install a full version of internet security and update the virus definitions, scan the whole computer. Before scanning the system, disconnect your PC from the Internet.

If the problem persists, you need to repair the windows using windows installation disc, may be the boot files are infected, again the PC is re-restarting because of the it restoring the files from Backup, after restoring PC can able to boot.

Internet Security or All in One security has many features like anti Malware, antivirus  anti root-kit  firewall, anti trojan....etc. 

If your files are deleted unknowingly you can recover, there are many software's available on Internet, download them, they provide trial versions if you can afford buy the full version.

I have a vaio laptop loaded with windows vista and I have a problem. I use usb modem for internet but recently when I connected to the internet and the bottom right corner almost at the end of the task bar a yellow triangle will appear saying limited access and some times the status is local and limited. I also checked network status and it say's IPv6 limited IPv4 limited. Or some times IPv6 limited IPv4 local only. Please help how do I fix this problem.

USB Modem is now a days booming in the industry, where anyone can afford to buy boosting with 3G speeds. It is loaded with windows drivers when you plug in it automatically installs it's drivers and open's up the dialer you can connect easily to the internet. When you need you can afford to buy new one as postpaid and prepaid are the options available. Great plans are also available but the charges are high when compared to a Broadband connection.

As you connecting to internet using this device there might be no balance to connect to the internet in case if you are using a prepaid.connection, check for the balance.One more reason is your device drivers are not installed correctly or the device which you are using is not compatible with the operating system. Try to use the device with other laptop then you will come to know whether the problem of USB Modem or Laptop or you service providers.

If you are all set right as per above reasons, please contact the customer care for further details.

I tried to hook up a DS WiFi  I changed a few things in my router options to do this online. It never worked and now my laptop refuses to connect to the internet via WiFi  When I go into my laptop options to reconnect to the internet it is blabbing about passwords I never used to make an internet connection. Very user unfriendly. No idea how to fix this.

Do one thing just reset the router and when you reset the router it restores to factory settings. after resetting just wait for two minutes and keep the router manual with you, follow the instructions.

It is safe to keep a password to WiFi  keep a password that must difficult to guess with combination numbers, letters and special characters.

Password or key can be acts as a security for the WiFi  Options like WPS/WPA/WEP or features included in the router for a protected network.

Don't ever share your Passwords and username with other users, they might limit the internet connection speed and it's usage for you.

Check your laptop if not still connected by doing the above things, your laptop has some traces or viruses that are not allowing to connect to internet.

Have a good Internet Security installed in your laptop, better buy a full versions of software that will show you the performance.

Every night at around 5-6, my internet disconnects. When I am playing call of duty, I get signed out and when I try to watch a video on youtube, it wont work. After 2minutes, It starts to work, but 10 minutes later its the same story. It works in the day perfectly. Someone please help me

There might be so many reasons for the internet disconnection. As it is particularly disconnecting at same time period there might be any software installed in your PC. There are some softwares are there, they handle internet connection manually so we can schedule the internet disconnection time and wake on. So beware that any this type software installed on your machine check throughly and uninstall the same.

Some scheduled tasks also do this type things, so check your windows scheduled tasks, disable or delete the tasks aswell.

If your is system is perfect there might be switching off the router by your ISP. Check with those Internet service provider, Contact them and explain the problem.

If you have any router that router might have over heating or swithcing off at point of time , Once refer router manual.

I'm not using any torrent when downloading...

I download from sites such as file cloud, media fire, mega shares, etc...

why are sometimes the speed is so slow as less than 10 kbps in some sites??

but in other sites they can be as fast as 100 kbps...

 don't think the internet is the problem so WHY IS IT LIKE THIS??

yes, you are right, because filecloud, mediafire, megashares,...etc as you are downloading in free mode and they provide some premium packages if you buy those packages and you are accessible to premium services and see the T&C of free download mode

my nokia 2700 was easily used to connect with my pc.but now when i connect it with data cable it is unable to connect with internet. but when i connect with bluetooth it easily connects with internet?

Most probably problem belongs the settings of the mobile, check the settings, cont service operator for the detailed settings and make them default settings and try to browse in mobile first and then connect it to Computer.
