If you can connect to your neighbors' router but not your router in your own home, I highly doubt that messing with your network card is going to do any good. It may sound rudimentary but have you simply tried updating the firmware of your router?

Yes I Tried But its already up to date.I screwed with some settings or something I guess. I did notice that the router was really hot but from what? I mean its all the way on the top of a computer desk.Currently I can connect to my network but I just get disconnected alot. My router seems to be rebooting itself alot. OvRiDe I will check out that video soon but i'm currently on dialup ><

I would have to go with the very first solution that was posted..

Your router is overheating.

I agree with Crenn that the router may be overheating, ...

Sometimes electronics just go bad, and when they do they get hot and quit working properly. I had an Linksys 802.11b router that did something very similar. I happened to have a identical router left over from another deployment. Put the other router in and everything was restored to normal.

I know you have been centering on the card and not the router. Are you the only one using the WiFi on this router? Is anyone else having the same problems you are?

I'm the only one with a laptop so yup I'm the only one using wifi. I may try to swap routers to see if theres any difference. I thought the humour was a bit out of place but no worries. It seems that other people have had similar issues with this router though but what can I expect it came free from verizon. I'm not paying for the internet so I won't buy a new router but i have another one which is the same model.

Well it was about boosting wireless signal using "Ethernet Induction Capabilities of Digital Cell Networks" which totally cracked me up, but as you can see by the post time it was pretty late in my neck of the woods.

Anywho.. hopefully its just a bad router and the replacement will get you back in business.
