Hi all.

At Christmas, I bought my wife a wireless router to enable her to go on the
internet with her computer, which is located upstairs.  She got a wireless
card installed.  The router is downstairs and my computer is attached at
that point.  Since getting this router I have had nothing but problems and
had to re-format several times.  I've also had problems getting rid of
Norton, which came with my computer.  I re-formatted on Sunday and this
time, rather than try to get rid of Norton and use Sygate and AVG, I decided
to just let Norton do it's stuff.  Unfortunately, when I did a live update,
my computer seemed to crash or stall.  I decided to attempt to turn Norton
off and managed this, in terms of Internet Security and Anti Virus.  I then
installed Sygate and AVG and my old problems started again.  So, eventually,
to my question.  Is having a router  perhaps causing my problems.  I mean,
is there any implications when using Sygate, AVG or Norton, when you are
attached via a Router.

I've really had it with this computer and fancy just visiting PC World to
get into dept again, but if the problems I am having are associated to my
Router, then a new computer would not resolve anything.  Any advise or ideas
would be very welcomed.

Best wishes.

Andy
