I am having a problem with my router and its driving me insane!
Here's the set-up; I have a Dell XPS M1710 and when its on my desk I have a NETGEAR rangemax wireless DG834N plugged in to maximise the broadband speed but...for some reason it will always connect wirelessly?
I have a 6mb broadband connection (confirmed) and a good router but my speed is at best tested at 1420kbps but most of the time its half that.
I cant figure out how to make the wired connection the default and not wireless? if that made sense.
The OS is Vista by-the-way.
How can I fix this?
Thanks all |

| When connected via wired LAN, you could hit the wireless switch on the Dell to disable the WLAN. |

Login to the Router as Admin and disable the wireless..
Probably http://192.168.0.1 for you..
While you are there you can check all manner of diagnostics in order to sort out the upload/download issues. |
