1 Laptop connecting to the net at a time (wireless)
Just wondering a friend at work has asked me to look at their modem (virgin network)
they aren't sure what make it is but told me its a few years old so I am thinking either the D link or the Netgear. I have the netgear one.
I'm calling round tomorrow to have a look and thought I would look for some answers here first before I get there. Is there any reason why the router will only let one laptop connect at a time through wireless?
I was either thinking of resetting the modem or having a look at some of the IP address that the modem is knocking out. I was told there are 3 laptops in the house so it seems a bit odd that it would be something related to the laptops rather than the router?

Ah yeah forgot about that will check that out tomorrow I wont really know till I can take a peak at it but yeah that could be it. failing that I was going to reset the router see where that would take me.
Although they dont know anything about pc's really so I know they haven't touched the router settings. Would a router come set up like that? can't say I have ever come across that problem before though

Well they wouldn't need to know the connection details would they? I would ask the laptop to search for a network and connect to the one in the house the "reset" of the router would also wipe the password at least that's how I remember mine working like that.

Guess that depends if they're on National or Cable...
