    switching between wifi and ethernet


    Can you make my wifi become faster alone without the eternet the wifi works fast on all other devices in the house but not mine. I cant watch videos with just my wifi and I ask the HP chat help and talked to an agent and he said to reset the system and he said it would work but it didn't work. Now my wifi wont show up and I have to use the ethernet please help me. I have tried everything.

    :)

    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.

    Ethernet Cable not detected by both WiFi router and LAN Switch

    You gotta have both ends plugged into a device. If they dont communicate on any port the cable might be bad. I think they make cheap ethernet cable testers

    Ethernet Cable not detected by both WiFi router and LAN Switch

    Test the cable then test the ports it plugs into. Have you have storms lately? I had a bad storm a while back that took out my modems ethernet port and one port on my gig card
