I need some 'guide for an idiot' advice from computer gurus here. Hope someone can give me step be step guide as to what is wrong with my netwrok. Some of the term I use may not be strictly correct, so please make an allowance for this lack of knowledge.
I have a Dell PC, External system hard drive and Virgin internet. The modem was replaced by Virgin some time ago when I called them as internet speed was poor. This modem was Linksis to Wireless B router by Linksis. I could not update the software on wife's iPad as system would drop out. The WiFi eventually stopped working. Called Virgin to be told the router was faulty.
Internet works if modem outlet plugged inti PC. Have swopped leads (blue from modem to router, green router to PC and black router to system drive. Blue plugged into PC instead of router- PC works. Green now between modem and PC- PC still works. Moment router inline between modem and PC, no work. Tried with system drive disconnected made no difference)
Got another router from son. It is called Belkin FSD7234-4v3. WiFi stil not working.
Help
TIA
