Hello all, maybe somebody can help me out here, i'm at my wits end.
First i'll describe my set up.
comcast internet setup as basic DHCP
I have a Dlink DI-524 WirelessRouter.
Powermac G4 hardwired to router as host computer with OS X 10.3.
Powerbook G4 with OS X 10.3 with a motorola wireless card that replaced a Belkin 54G wireless card.
Security settings have been turned off for now, as I have been trouble shooting this for while and the security was just getting in the way.
Okay Situation.
Okay a few months ago my Powerbook with the Belkin Card all the sudden stopped transferring data to the router, or was very unreliable, sending bits of data at time and thus taking for ever for webpages to load ultimately resulting in Time out errors and what not. Resetting Cable Modem and Router works initially but then after a few minutes the same problem reoccurs. There is still a connection from the Powerbook to the Router, but the data does not transmit.
I have no problem with my hard wired G4.
I bought a new Motorola card for the Powerbook thinking that Belkin was really old so it must be crapping out on me. Problem seem to be fixed for about 2 weeks, and now i'm starting to see the same symptoms again.
Again resetting hardware, turning off and on airport, has not effect as the problem returns in a few minutes, and I'm basically just stuck trying to load a new page.
It does not seem to matter which browser I use, I mainly use Firefox.
I'm about to go and get a new linksys router, but before I drop $50-$70 dollars I thought that I there might be a simplier solution.
Other interesting note. My PS2 with Linkysys wireless adapter will connect just fine most of the time and I rarely have any drops in connection or lag. i've also had success in pluging my powerbook into that Linksys Wirelss Adapter, and it surfs just fine.
Any ideas?
