  1. Ethernet and WiFi at the same time? Help


    My gaming PC is plugged into router via a very long ethernet cable thru the wall. My ping is very good (always 5 to 7 ms) but for some reason the internet just cuts out completely for 10 seconds at a time then comes back, this happens about every 20 minutes. When browsing internet its fine but when in a game I get booted. My flawless record in Multiverses now has 3 losses due to disconnect penalties, and I also get booted from all the MMOs i play, sometimes mid-raid.

    My question, can i hook up Wifi at the same time (the problem is NOT the router).

    Question 2, if ethernet cuts out for 10 seconds, will the transfer to Wifi be instant or would there be a delay?

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    OK but why?

    NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

    Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

    Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

    Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

    To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.
