Nora, I have seen the behavior you describe fixed many times by simply replacing the router. If it's the DSL modem then your ISP will replace it. They can dial into it to tell if it's working correctly. If it is, then it's your router.
You can get cheap N routers for less than $50 these days that may or may not be a worth-while investment. Problem is that spending $150 on a fancy N router is no guarantee that it will work any better. More likely, but not a sure thing. Best option: buy cheap and make sure the seller has a liberal (lower-case el) return policy. Then if it's not satisfactory, you can return it and buy the next model up. I have seen expensive ones fail and cheap ones last a long time. YMMV. Oh, and the speed improvement with any N router over a B or G is dramatic. You'll be glad you did. j.

Will have to check that out to see if that improves things. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9 & 10 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 Kentuckiana's FileMaker Users Group Next meeting: July 26, 12:00 pm to 3:00-ish Blog: http://www.kyfmp.com _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
