i have bought and installed a ZyXEL wireless ADSL Router P660HW. I have connected two computers to it, one via Ethernet cable that came with the pack and the other via a wireless usb adapter G202.

the one with the wireless adapter seems to work fine, the one with the direct connection was working fine but when both connections are on it seems to lag and choses not to load sites giving me the error internet explorer cannot display the page etc ect.

however it does load two sites out of my favorites !!! pokerzone and K9 and will connect and work fine with poker client software poker stars and full tilt but not party poker and paradise poker

what the [bleep] is going on !!!!!!!!

on the router box it says security and firewall

Protect you and your family with parental control through key word and website filtering
WPA security (Wi-fi protected access) is pre configured to protect your network connections from hackers
Provides automatic unique wireless password key
integrated firewall for maximum protection


does this sound like a firewall problem ??? can u please help

A lot depends on the speed of the connection.
Don't forget, you've got two computers downloading at the same time, and if the broadband isn't all that fast anyway, things will get a bit slow in the amount of data throughput you'll get from the Internet.

This may be caused by some setting in the router causing it to favour certain types of traffic.

yes thats my guess any ideas what setting that would be a rough guess do you have any experience setting up routers
its obviously favouring the wireless just cant understand why going to go o n the manufacturers website and see if i can find out
