netopia wireless delay

Hi, I used BT bb in Dublin and have it connected to a 3com wireless router and it connects in a few seconds with no problems. However, at home down in Wicklow I'm using the wireless modem supplied with eircom bb and it takes about 2 mins after detecting the wireless network for it to determine an ip and let me surf. Any…

Hi,

I used BT bb in Dublin and have it connected to a 3com wireless router and it connects in a few seconds with no problems. However, at home down in Wicklow I'm using the wireless modem supplied with eircom bb and it takes about 2 mins after detecting the wireless network for it to determine an ip and let me surf. Any one any ideas why there's such a delay?

Thanks

Tom

er..wrong forum.

It's probably just the netopia router... Try setting a manual IP address, and remove the need for DHCP..

Could be something else interfering... Change the cahannel the router is using. I had problems with lidls wireless security camera. (thoug it wasn't connecting at all)
