to a hub without a cross-over switch.

My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes.
This is usually caused by interference — two common sources are 2.4GHz
“remote” telephones and microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the inter-
fering product, try using a different channel or setting Protected Mode.
I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow.
If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trou-
ble servicing all the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few
minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect the connec-
tion speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connec-
tions, may slow down your connection.
