    Re: How to setup router on PC with WiFi internet via PCI card?

    --- No, it's brand new router, it's not password protected.
    yes it is,
    user: <admin>
    pw: <admin>
    --http://www.tp-link.com/no/article/?faqid=191

    Step 2 Type the username and password in the login page. The default username and password are both admin in lowercase.

    if required, there is a hidden button at the read of the tplink$
    for total reset
    including pw
    -> check your doc

    --- Now it works, but connection is slow,
    or sometimes it works well,
    loading pages is quick and then suddenly stops.

    connection speed test:
    google 'it connection speed test internet'
    --http://www.speedtest.net/

    --- Where could be a problem,

    --- dhcp
    no,as dhcp stands for dynamic local ip attribution on local dhcp ip interface
    once the ip are attributed, then this is ok

    --- or some other options?
    options or not options ?
    that is the question !

    --- I'm total noob at routers.
    everybody started at this level


    -- How should I configure dhcp settings? This is the current setup:
    try this:
    dhcp server: enable
    start: 192.168.1.100
    end: 192.168.1.199
    time: 120
    gw: 192.168.1.1

    as suggested by the defaults,
    then

    prim dns: 8.8.8.8 (from google ...)
    sec dns: 208.67.222.222
    Free Public DNS Server

    => Service provider: Google
    Google public dns server IP address:

    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4

    => Service provider:OpenDNS
    OpenDNS free dns server list / IP address:

    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    look here for others:
    --http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/

    <--it is essential to set the fasted dns server close to your area it,fr,ge,uk...-->
    <--obviously, if you live in Finland, it is total non sense to query the numerical ip address out of a server based in New Zeeland-->
    <--each time you type a www .address. com, a dns query is forwarded to get the numerical 123.123.123.001 --->
    <--so, speed is essential-->

    ---
    then check your interface ip setting,
    as dhcp
    and not static
    this way, it will be configured (ip address, maslk, gw address and dns server ip address) automatically at boot by your router

    you can play with static settings,
    when you gain some experience
    ... but not so much to gain ...

    ---
    test the config of your interface with the command:

    ifconfig

    ipconfig

    ---
    at this stage, your modem/router is reachable from the test command

    ping 192.168.1.1

      Replace router with a second pc and check if you have the same problem: just to know if problem is in ics or router ...

        Hi the problem could be your server it happens to a lot of people when server is not under heavy demand you will get better speeds.
        Also when it goes slow are you connecting to a download site IE: streaming a pirate ship
        or any other torrent type site especially xbmc if so, that is why your speeds slows down and disconnects, they do not have any great bandwidth so as more more people connect your speed reduces.

          Thanks guys, it's working well now, problem solved. I configured DHCP as aplok suggested and ICS was fine.
          Don't know what was the problem, either DNS or something else but it only matters that clients have full speed access.
          Cheers

            for better performance avoid using the channels widely used in your area. for example when i make a search for wireless i see that majority of wifi signals using channel number 11. and i am using channel 1 and getting better performance.

              Thanks. I live in rural area (small village) so there isn't many routers around, if any (there's one on the picture, channel 11) and their signals are weak.
              But on the other hand there's a real mess with providers and overlapping channels :)

                Unless one of the above channels is yours already I would use channel 3 or 10.
