Facebook and other numerous websites won't work wirelessly off my router, to access facebook i need to go down stairs and wire my laptop to my router. i thought it was just my laptop but my boyfriends laptop has built in wireless, whilst i use a dongle thingy, and his doesnt work either. What the hell is wrong with it

Facebook needs a persistent connection to work optimally. Lapses in internet can cause it to fail.

My router is supposed to give me high speed internet though

Speed has nothing to do with it.
What i'm saying is that there may be interference which would cause 'gaps' in internet use, which would make facebook not work.

Like ottoman673 said, They require a persistent connection to work optimally. This means that the connection needs to stay connected, When you are on wireless the wireless signal tends to drop out (packet loss), This can cause the connection to lag or even leave you unable to access the website.
