Hi, I have a home network of 3 computers which share the same broadband connection. I moved house a few months ago and until then I was able to run the internet connection into the wireless router, unfortunately my new ISP (Spanish ISP, Telefonica) refuses connection with everything except their router, preventing me from using the wireless router I have.

To solve the problem I wired 1 of my PCs directly to the router, then had it share the internet connection to the wireless network, allowing the other computers to access the internet. This was all working perfectly until 2 nights ago. The wireless network kept dropping its connection randomly. Now it refuses to connect at all. I have internet on the PC that is directly wired through the LAN router, but it refuses to connect to the wireless router. I've used 2 different wireless routers, and 2 different kind of wireless network cards, and none work.

In the 'Network Connections' panel it just states "Not Connected", and no amount of repairing or disabling and re-enabling seems to fix the problem. I'm at a total loss at what to do, I've tried searching through the threads already here and there doesn't appear to be anything which covers my problem.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me!

Vangs, for this situation what you need is a wireless access point, not a wireless router. A wireless access point could plug directly into one of the ports on the Telefonica router.

Thanks for your response, I've managed to get it fixed to the way it was before. I swapped around the PCs, and got the network running correctly with my main PC and Laptop, then just changed the IP settings on the host computer and everything is running again.

I'll check into the wireless access point though, thanks for suggesting that.
