Your wireless, windows login and saved web browser passwords are stored in clear text in the Windows registry. Did it "hack" your password? Sounds like it to me. If you are genuinely concerned about this, don't save any passwords in your computer's settings and change your wireless password to...

You have either got a router that can't process all of the usage or an internet problem, given that when your internet crashes it applies to the entire network and not what is connected to the wifi extender only. What kind of internet do you have? 100% upload bandwidth being used will tank your...

Hmmm... Channel 12 and 13 are on the 2.4GHz band and aren't licensed for use in the US by FCC. 5GHz channels are 36 to 64 and if your adapter is wireless N capable it should see anything within the 5GHz band. Something else is going on. Have you tried a different driver for your wireless card...

Hold on. What says it supports CAT5e, the face plates or the actual cable? If the faceplates are CAT5e rated and the cable between them is telephone and only cat3 rated, that is your problem and faceplates won't help. You would need to run a new cable. It wouldn't be as hard as running a brand...

Some wireless routers will have "wireless client isolation".... If this is turned on it will block all traffic to and from anything on your LAN. Wire your desktop to your wired LAN, disconnect your laptop from your wired LAN and connect to the wireless. Can you ping the IP of the desktop from...

Before you spend any money check your latency through the power line adapter. I have seen these work where you can connect to the internet.... but barely... Wireless has a pretty sharp curve on it as far as speed and latency goes. If you are having latency problems through your wireless network...

Also your latency plays a big part. If you use satellite internet your actual speed can be great, but by the time anything you do goes anywhere it will be about a second to a second and a half and is pretty useless for gaming. Otherwise if you have DSL, cable, fiber, wireless internet etc the...

Okay... Here you go. 10.11.12.0/22 is the block of addresses you need... Subnet 1: 10.11.12.0/24 Subnet 1 gateway: 10.11.12.1 Left over useable IP address range: 10.11.12.2-10.11.12.254 subnet mask:255.255.255.0 broadcast: 10.11.12.255 Subnet 2: 10.11.13.0/24 Subnet 2 gateway...

Both the cable and the jacks that the cable is punched down to are supposed to be cat6 rated. However cat5e supports gigabit no problem. More than likely the problem is what bill mentioned with a wire not being tested or loose. Also I have seen where a second jack was needed in an install and...

Do you have a license for whatever version of Windows server you have? If you do, check your RAID with the disk configuration utility while server is booting up (I think I remember it being ctrl+I and your server will flash that on the screen early in the boot process). If you have two drives...

Whoever did that had no idea what they were doing... The RIGHT thing to do would be to gently pull the wires out of the CAT5e jack and punch them down in whatever order is marked for T568B but most do-it-yourselfers don't have a punch down tool. As long as it is working leave it be but somewhere...

A few years ago I worked for an IT field work company and was their networking guy. I did some work for a major fast food restaurant franchise that needed to get into their Netopia combo modem/router but the guy that set it up could not be reached so it had to be defaulted and set back up...

Looks like you have DSL service. From my experience Thomson modems are pretty solid. More than likely your distance from your ISP's central office is the reason you aren't getting the bandwidth you are paying for. A lot of the big players in DSL will sell you plan for a certain amount of...

Did you change the permissions to everyone for the folder attributes itself? Or did you change the advanced sharing permissions? You should have the folder attributes set to "everyone" and you can set the advanced sharing attributes to a either everyone or local user account on the computer with...

Call their sales staff, explain what you have and your setup and ask them. That's what I would do.
