    Laptop Problem

    Ok this is the second time i've had to write this because of the problem I am having, when I am viewing a website that seems to contain lots of data, facebook, nucastle, bbciplayer and the like I get like three clicks on the site and the wireless symbol (looks like a PC with a signal coming out of the right of it) in the bottom right corner will stop glowing like its not looking for a signal when I am trying to navigate a website and il get the error message below

    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    Most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.

    I then have to right click the symbol and press the repair button in order to continue browsing and the process starts over again, somebody at work said it might be a codec problem???????? Any help would be great, PS its not the internet connection as nobody else in the house is having the problem. Cheers

    go to 192.168.1.1 and change your wireless channel, failing that , its probably router firmware imo
