3 out of 4 comps work

I have a wireless Netgear router with 4 ports on it. Now originally, none of
my computers were able to connect to the router, but I have changed the
channel wirelessly to channel 6 and three computers have now successfully
connected to the router. Nonetheless, there is still one computer that is
detecting a signal from the router, but stating that there is limited
connectivity (even though signal strength is excellent.) This was what the
original problem was and this was rectified when I changed the channel.

Would it help if I were to change the channel on the router again?

Have you changed the SSID? Its quite possible that if you didn't change the
SSID from "default" and that you are connecting to a neighbor's Netgear
router. I have seen this more than once.

LOL, setting up my first wireless router later tonight and I'll be sure to
watch that one.... ;-)

I had a client using their neighbor's router and internet connection for a
year before they realized what was happening.

Yea I have changed the SSID but still the problem. The computer is showing
as connected to MY router with a good connection, however with limited
connectivity. When I rang Netgear because this was the problem on all 4
computers originally, they told me to change the channel and hey presto,
three computers connected. He said it was something to do with the waves
from the TVs and cordless telephones. So my thinking is that if I change the
channel again, it may work?

I just don't want to do this if it may result in all 4 having no connection
