Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me out.

I have had this wireless router for 3.5-4 months, and it has been working fine up until now.
It either runs VERY slow and losses connection often or will not connect at all. I could be sitting beside the router or across the room with the same results. i have even tried connecting a cord from the laptop to the router, but it makes no difference. If it makes any difference we have a PS3 that is connected via wire to the modem and it works just fine, never loses connection. We have used both at the same time since we got it and it was fine up until a few weeks ago.
I have tried reseting it and unplugging everything and rebooting the computer and that had no effect. I also tried reinstalling the router on the computer using the setup disk and resetting everything but that did not do anything either. I am not that knowledgeable in computer software and have now tried everything i can think of. PLEASE HELP ME!!

I have an Acer Aspire laptop
MTS ~ DSL Modem

Not sure if you need more info
