Answer 1

Call your ISP, that&#039;s what they&#039;re there for.

Answer 2

You could be suffering from WIFI saturation in your neighborhood, which happens when you get too many routers in one area.  Each router has 11 different channels to use in situations like this, but they all are shipped with channel 6 as the default.  So, chances are that everyone in your hood is stomping all over each other on channel 6.

Change the channel to 1 or 11 to get as far away from everyone else as possible.

You change the channel in the router&#039;s setup utility.

Answer 3

You may be trying to setup a PPPoE connection or &quot;broadband connection&quot; as windows calls it. You most likely need to use the &quot;local area connection.&quot; Delete the PPPoE conenction you just made and make sure the local area connection is configured correctly.
