I have a serious problem with my internet that's been going on for some time. Running any large appliance (especially the air conditioner and laundry machines) seems to cause problems, continuous for the air conditioner and often for the washer/dryer. I think it had something to do with their power usage. It used to make my internet go out altogether; we got a new, wireless router, and now it causes tremendous slowdown, and my internet access still seems to go out or lag randomly. Is this at all a hardware problem (could I get some new accessory to help), or is it something with our electrical systen like I think? We're also starting to think it could have something to do with having a fixed/non-fixed ISP address; could this be part of the problem?

I have a wireless internet, and when i first got it i had problems with playing Guild wars,
But i searched the web and looked at everything i could and found something to do,
I had a problem that when i loaded guild wars and logged on, my char stopped wouldn't move and a message on screen said Connecting
This may not work if you haven't got a application that came with the wireless internet,
1. Connect your wireless internet,
2. Right click my computer and select manage
3. Double click services and application
4. Double click Services
5. Scroll down to Wireless zero con figuration
6. Right click, Stop
7. Now load guild wars and see if you have any problems

Apparently according to the thread i read, it has a conflict between guild wars and the wireless adapters,


Hope this helps
