Hi, I just installed a new mobo I recently purchased and everything is working fine The only problem is that the PC will start automatically when I switch the PSU on. The PC will shut down normally (and will stay off) and the power and reset buttons work just fine, basically everything is...

Set up the router in a convenient location so it's as close to devices that need to be connected to the router wirelessly as possible. Make sure that wireless is enabled (you should find a wireless on/off button on the router panel - netgear dgn2200). Then from the wireless tab of the router...

Thick walls and magnetic fields WILL make wireless signals weaker and your most practical option other than moving you computer or bringin' down your walls :thumb: is to add WAP(s). (wireless access point) Make sure that you use strong wireless antenas on your router and any other access points...

STATIC IP... That's the key!!! Finally, after trying a lot of different stuff, I decided to shut everything down at lunch time and start from the beginning. Started the router and connected my PC directly to the first Ethernet port on the router, then I configured my PC to use a static ip...

The switch is a 32-port Cisco and the router a 4-port Linksys, I can provide the exact model if necessary but in my opinion, the problem should be related to the network settings rather than the hardware inside, thanks for the reply.

Hi everyone! I'm kind of new to this forum...well, actually this is my first post! The problem is simple (as a matter of fact might be too simple) but spending a couple of hours googling it didn't seem to help. My last resort was this forum (well obviously!) since I've had found some useful...
