wireless conection to Router cant access Internet
i have a new N router, (its a netgear) which replaced my old faithfull D-link
My various machines can conect to it wirlessly but i cant seem to get internet access.
I thought maybe it was because my old laptop was a G so i stuck a N adapter in it .
It works for a while then cant conect to IE again grrr I spent weeks on this
Works fine hard wired .
If i reboot it seems to work fine , then it goes again..
Seems something is blocking it but cant find out what
im using several Dell laptops , An Hp wireless printer , a mac and several PCs ..
All which were fine on my old G-series Dlink router .
Im using Macafee anti virus and have tried with firewall off and on .
using TKIP wpa/2
silly me i sold my old router on ebay , DOh !!!!!!!

another thing to check / change is the wireless channel. It is possible that there are other wireless channels in the area that are configured to the same as yours and this can mess with connectivity. Download a wireless channel scanner and scan the area and then choose a wireless channel on your router that is not the same as the ones that was detected.

I had already changed this to 11 , this solved it for a while especially with my wireless printer then it stopped.
