Reset your base station, gateway, or router. Turn off or unplug the base station, 
wait at least 10 seconds, and turn it back on again. When the status lights indicate 
that the base station is ready, try accessing the Internet from the wireless computer 
again. 
O
Update your base station firmware. Firmware is the software that is loaded into 
your base station to provide network functions. You can update your base station 
firmware by downloading it from the Internet and installing it on your base station. If 
you are using a Microsoft base station, make sure that you are using the latest 
firmware version.  
To update Microsoft base station firmware  
1. Double-click the Broadband Network Utility icon on your taskbar to start  
the utility. 
2. On the Help menu, click Check for Updates Online.  
3. If there is a newer version of the firmware available, follow the instructions on 
the Web page to download the new software, firmware, or drivers.  
 
My network is slow. 
If networked programs are running slowly, or you are experiencing large slowdowns in 
your Internet connection speed, try decreasing the number of computers or programs 
that are simultaneously accessing your network. 
   
Note   Programs that do not use network resources, for example Microsoft Word when it is 
editing a local document, will not interfere with the speed of your network. Only programs 
which must constantly use your network connection to function will be affected. Examples 
can include music sharing software and instant messenger programs. 
Your network has a limited amount of bandwidth for transmitting data. As more 
computers access your network at the same time, the bandwidth must be divided 
among all computers. By reducing the number of programs accessing your network at 
the same time, you can increase the speed at which data is transmitted across your 
network. 
You might find that you need more bandwidth to use all of your computers at the same 
time on the network. If your connection is still too slow, contact your ISP to verify that 
there are no problems with your connection, such as scheduled maintenance, line 
issues, or other problems. If you are still not satisfied with your connection speed, you 
might want to inquire about upgrading to a faster connection.
