I recently bought and installed an Alfa high-power wifi adaptor that's supposed to increase my reception. I live in a large house, room is very far from the router and originally I was picking up a weak signal. The adaptor has increased it to 46%. I can connect however nothing is loading, it doesn't even try just quits and page cant display. I ran a diagnostics log, here it is.

That's the log. I don't have access to the router, that belongs to my folks and they don't want me messing with their machine :) I can only work from my end of things--for now so I'm hoping that the issue isn't an incompatability of some kind with the router. If that happens I suppose I'll need to get my own router...

Check the DNS settings on the client as it looks as if nothing is resolving.

What are DNS settings? And is the client my laptop, the adaptor, or what?

I'm afraid I don't know how to begin doing this.

You can check first if you are getting a valid IP Address from the base station (Router).

Could you please provide me the OS of your Computer?

I provided the info...I already said, I don't know where to go from here. What do I do now? It is no different. I still cannot connect. I gave the info and then no responses while I wait for over a week? I feel I've been very patient. But I need help.

Please do an ipconfig /all

1. Click "Start"

2. Click "Run"

3. Type "cmd" and press enter

4. Type "ipconfig /all >C:\Info.txt" and press enter

5. Navigate to your C: drive (start, my computer) and double click "Info.txt" (it won't say Info.txt, just Info but it will be a text file)

6. Please copy and paste the contents of Info.txt into your next reply...
