| 854725 | 2010-02-02 21:37:00 | Hello. A couple days ago i went out and bought some DDR2 RAM, a EVGA Geforce 9800 GTX+ and a new PSU (650w). I installed everything without a problem but i had to move my Wireless card to another PCI slot. However, when i went to use the internet i would notice random disconnects. Also, i am a gamer and my ping in online games would go as high as 3000ms+ at time when my ping is usually around 30ms. So, i messed around with the router abit but still nothing. I also ran a couple speedtests at speedtest.net and saw that my ping from the speed test was normal but my download speed was drastically reduced or that it varies randomly (to about 1.5mbps). I've tried using the internet on some other machines throughout my house and their download speed is just fine. Anyone know exactly what's going on? I know i've got enough power from the PSU for the card and for my entire computer.. :S Also, could someone explain to me how to setup a WAN security system on my Dlink router ? the WBR2310 to be more specific. Thanks. Regards. |

| 854726 | 2010-02-02 22:08:00 | Try this --- For the wireless - go into the LAN settings on the PC, locate the Wireless connection, right click Properties, Locate the Wireless Tab - look for the current /old connection, remove it, then reconnect again from fresh. By moving the network Card sometimes it doesn't pick up the old connection correctly since its now in a different PCI slot. As for the security - dont have a D-link to advise. ;) |

| 854727 | 2010-02-02 22:24:00 | Alright, i'm running Windows XP Pro and i went to Network Connections, found my connection (which for some reason is being recognized as connection 2 and not just wireless conection now), right clicked on it, went to properties, found the wireless tab, removed my existing connection and re-entered the access points information. However, it's still doing the same. I also tried to remove the connection entirely from my Network Connections menu (so i could run the Wizard once again to re-configure my connection and so it would hopefully realise that connection 2 is actually connection 1 now) but it tells me the Connection cannot be removed. Any ideas? |

| 854728 | 2010-02-02 22:40:00 | You could try removing it Via the device manager, then on reboot it will (or should) pick it back up again. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 854729 | 2010-02-02 22:56:00 | Alright, let me give that a try. Thanks abunch. | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 854730 | 2010-02-02 23:20:00 | Hmm, after re-installing through the Device Manager i'm still experiencing the same problems :s | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 854731 | 2010-02-02 23:58:00 | Ok i've noticed that it never wants to assign the connection as the first connection anymore. It just bumped it up to Wireless Connection # 3 when i re-installed. | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 854732 | 2010-02-03 00:09:00 | I don't mean to keep bumping the thread but does anyone think that reinstalling Windows may help ? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
