Cannot find my wireless router

IM so confused, im of the problems with my wireless router, when I connected my nintendo wii, that it worked fine, so I decided to make a secure connection by giving a password and other then on the pc finds the router, I made a password for wireless connection and then my wii wouldn't connect , and when I returned to the pc change back I couldn't find the router anywhere all that I can see is my ethernet, theres nothing no wireless adapter. but on my laptop, I can see my wireless connection, but I can't connect to the internet on this subject. IM desperate I don't much about computers know pls if use small words haha, btw, after what happened, I installed windows 7 on the pc to see if it would fix itself, but no luck.

Hello

The type of encryption and password must be exactly the same and fully compatible with all wireless devices that use the wireless router.

So first connect to the router using lead wire and disable security.

Then read this and restore security.

Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.
No security
Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).
-------------------
The solutions above are not considered safe.
Safe starts here at WPA.

-------------------
WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).
WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)
WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download the fix from Microsoft WPA2. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/893357

Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.

Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

  • C4780 cannot find the wireless router

    I have a new iMac and old Toshiba that is running Windows XP and you use a Netgear wireless router.  When I got to the printer, it worked fine on the wireless network.  Bought a new router that I couldn't work with the Mac and the PC so I returned to my original router.  Now, the printer does not work as a wireless printer.  Summaries of diagnosis indicates that the printer cannot find the wireless router and fails under "Network Name (SSID) Found."  On the Network Setup page, my network is listed as a network discovered by the printer.  I guess there is a simple solution and hope to find the answers here.

    Thank you very much!

    Some printers C4780 left the factory with a default misconfiguration.  This could be the reason why you can not see the hpsetup network.  Here is an updated set of instructions for manually adding the C4780 to a Mac:

    Part 1 - Get the printer in Ad-Hoc Mode Wireless

    (1) turn on the printer.

    (2) display the printer has six keys; three on the left (top-left, middle left, below on the left) and three on the right (top-right, centre-right, bottom-right).  Press and release the following touch buttons in order:

    top left,

    bottom-left,

    top left,

    top left.

    (3) you should see the internal menu of printers.  Press the right button down to select 'Service Menu'.  Press OK (lower-left).

    4) press the lower button right until you see "Reset Menu".  Press OK (lower-left).

    5) press the lower button right until you see "half full".  Press OK (lower-left).

    (6) after a few seconds, the printer turns off.  Press the power button to turn on the printer.  It is now reset with the correct default network settings.

    (7) turn on the radio:

    Press the Scan button to get the wireless settings

    Select wireless Menu

    Select wireless settings

    Select Enable Wireless to turn on the radio.

    Part 2 - run the Wireless Setup Wizard

    The printer has now created an ad - hoc network called hpsetup.  To connect to this network on your Mac.

    Check the connection to the printer by opening the printer's internal web page.  You can do this by opening Safari, select bookmarks then ShowAll bookmarks.  On the left pane of Safari, select Hello and on the right, you should see your printer listed.  Double-click your printer and Safari should display the printer's internal web page.

    The printer Web page, select the network tab, and then select Wireless (802.11).  Now press Start the wizard to launch the wireless configuration wizard.

    When the wizard is finished, your computer unplug the printer's ad - hoc network as the printer reconfigures itself to connect to your network home.

    Reconnect your computer to your home network.  Verify that you can connect to the printer at the opening of its internal web page again once we were doing before.

    Finally, install the printer SW.  Since you have Snow Leopard, you don't need the CD that came with the printer.  Instead, open the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet and press the [+] button.  Highlight your printer and click Add.

  • Photosmart C4780 "cannot find the wireless router.

    OK so apparently I'm not as tech savvy as I like to think of myself. I just got a used C4780 and spent 12 hours trying to figure how to set up so that I can print wireless. I had zero luck with that.

    I read that the WPS connection method is more easy then I tried that first. After a few failed attempts, I tried to download the software for Windows 8 (as the disc that comes with it only goes to to Windows 7). I got the same error message 4 times (something Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error), so I then tried the method of the PIN code. After several settings (with the help of my brother on the phone, so I don't really remember what I did unfortunately) just as many failures to connect and I gave up this process.  I printed the 'Network Configuration' Page and the 'wireless network Test report", but I don't have much of a clue as to what it now means. I don't understand what I am doing wrong or what I could do different. The thing that really stumps me, is that the test report said that the printer can't find my router, but at the bottom of the Configuration Page, it lists my wireless network...

    USEFUL/IMPORTANT INFO:

    -HP Photosmart C4780

    -Lenovo all-in-One 8.1 Windows 64 bit

    -router made by ARRIS and provided by my ISP (CableONE)

    -J' installed all the updates that are available for Windows

    -J' restarted the printer, computer, router AND several times

    -my wireless router is in another room, but not more than perhaps 20 feet away

    Side note: I have also a mini iPad... just throw it out there in case it might be a better tool to put up with... If you need to know something more to help me let me know! Thank you for cause in advance that I'm going stir crazy trying to figure this!

    Copy + paste directly from their Web site.

    It's OK... you're using their product.  they can always put the Bridge mode.  Call them and tell them that you want to use your OWN router and they put it in Bridge mode.

    EDIT - Bridge mode just turns off the router part and use it as a modem only.

  • Satellite P300 - 20 H cannot find a wireless connection

    Hello

    Can someone help me? My Satellite P300 - 20H can not find the wireless router.
    He works very well before both at home and work, nothing has changed, but the laptop now cannot find a connection.

    Everything works fine when I connect the ethernet cable, but as soon as I unplug NOTHING.
    The router is in the same location as always, and no electric element in surplus is around.

    I guess it must be something to do with the laptop because it is the same at home because it's a job, WITHOUT JOY.

    Thank you

    Richy.

    Ohhm man.
    There are many discussions on the problems of WiFi and I hope you read some comments here that provide some tips.
    Did you?

    Firstly it should check if the WiFi is enabled correctly.
    Activate WLan switch (LED should be lit) and use the FN + F8 to activate the WLan.
    In addition, the WLan configuration should be checked! (SSID, encryption type, password encryption, etc.)

    Last but not least make sure your WLan driver is up-to-date.

  • W7 PC on the router LAN port cannot find connected wireless OJ Pro 8500 has more router suite upgrade

    My broadband provider has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless LAN GigE ports and. The 8500 a printer has been successfully connected WPA Wireless and works very well with a laptop Windows 7 Sony connected wireless and Apple devices.  However neither the desktop PC connected windows 7 Dell LAN or even Sony laptop when it is connected to a router LAN port can find the printer.  I tried to reinstall the printer software with the latest version on the site of HP OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as auditor of network environment cannot find the printer. I ran the diagnostics of HP network with two firewalls in the PC and router disabled without success. The LAN itself seems to work OK as the PC can meet, Exchange files and and can access the internet.  The router has been checked by the technical uupport of the broadband service provider.  The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows Explorer so you expect the HP software to see. The only option to set the printers IP address and use it in the installion process or is there other settings that I can change to get the HP network environment checker works correctly?  Thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.  Unfortunately the router (a BT HomeHub4) does not have such a context, in the hub Manager, which is accessible by the user but I have now found it has the ability to set the IP address of a wireless device if I did. I reinstalled successfully on the printer to all computers.

  • LaserJet 200 color M251MW: driver software cannot find printer wireless HP Laserjet 200

    I have printer HP Laserjet above 200. It's worked great for me and another person in my office. However, I've changed computers, and no matter what I do, the driver cannot find the printer. The other person in my office can always print very well, and my old computer can print always very well. I have disabled the firewall, turn off network security essentials (it is not yet installed antivirus software), provided the IP address, network address, the name of the device, let the software to set up my connection Wireless for HP Direct print. I restarted the printer, restarted my computer, restarted the router wireless, connected the printer directly to my computer via the supplied USB cable. It does not find the printer. I can ping to the IP address of the printer and get a quick response. I can print to other printers on network in the building, I just can't connect using HP. !

    None of that helped him. What is strange, is that when I plug the USB in, it feels immediately there is a printer is connected. It starts to install the software, asking me to acknowledge T & C before you get a read error "unable to create the folder to extract webpack". I am an administrator on this computer and the network, and he gave permission to run. However when I use the driver from HP, it cannot find the printer, even with connected USB? The HP print and scan doctor finds the printer immediately, on the network, but then try to install the same software that does not find the printer.

    I have finally however solve the problem, the key was to not install all other HP services, other than those needed to print. Deselection of all the software options (components 6-8) allowed him to immediately find the printer maybe 2 seconds, select these elements and not found the printer. HP needs to offer a thin driver that actually works, rather than trying to sell ink, just something that allows you to print would be useful. It's frustrating to spend 6 to 8 hours trying to configure a printer when the problem appears to be with the driver.

    For others with this problem, run the HP print scan doctor, download the driver again through this software, deselect all option provided with the driver software and continue.

  • Satellite A505 - sees, but cannot connect to, Wireless Router Win7

    I have a laptop Toshiba A505-S6980 running the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    It worked fine a few months previously, to connect wireless to my O2 2 wireless router (the notebook has a REALTEK RTL8191SE wireless card).

    I also have a desktop running XP computer that I use to connect to the same router. While on the desktop, I noticed several weeks ago that the router has been implemented with no WPA and WEP security, so I decided to change the router to WPA. The desktop PC was fine with this, but the laptop complained and wouldn't connect, failure of authentication and just stating "unable to connect to xxxxx". At the time I assumed it just couldn't handle the WPA authentication for some reason any and decided that I would probably turn to WEP to a later date to make it work again. At some point, I remove a ' O2 Connection Manager ", which had been installed when I bought a 3G dongle O2, where he has confused the issue, but it made no difference. In the meantime, I tried to connect the laptop using a wired connection and worked well.

    I now (a few weeks later) decided that I wanted to use the wireless laptop then redefine the router to WEP expect this to work, but it didn't. As with WPA, he did not get past authentication when I put the key to security in. So, I try to understand the problem...

    What happens;

    (1) the wireless laptop sees my router (and neighbors), but just cannot connect.

    (2) I can connect with a laptop computer on the same USB wireless adapter.

    (3) I can connect the laptop to the router using a wired connection, and there is no problem.

    (4) my desktop running XP computer can connect to the router as WEP or WPA Wireless if the router is ok.

    (5) this worked several weeks ago!

    What I've tried;

    (1) I have installed the latest REALTEK RTK8191SE driver.

    (2) I tried to disable the security on the router, no joy.

    (3) I deleted all the profiles of network on the laptop.

    (4) I have tried with Norton antivirus and firewall disabled (but have not uninstalled) but no help.

    (5) I tried to do a restore of the system to the closest possible point and no help.

    (5) I uninstalled the wireless network adapter and its driver in Device Manager... Windows 7 can see the of it after a reboot and re - installed (using the old default driver), but it does not work. Then, I re-installed the latest version from REALTEK to ensure that it is up-to-date.

    What's weird is that

    (1) it works ok using the wireless USB adapter

    (2) the integrated REALTEK wireless adapter works to a point such that it can SEE my router, connect simply do not

    (3) authentication failure almost instantly

    My suspicions are that an automatic update of Windows 7 or the O2 Connection Manager has somehow screwed it upward. I have uninstalled the O2 connection manager and tried to uninstall the automatic updates but there are many of them and I don't know how far back, I need to go. Also, because it authentication immediately, it seems that it is not giving him a chance to actually work.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can proceed or had a similar problem?

    This is a really silly situation. In any case, I recommend you to use the Toshiba WLAN drivers only.
    I put t know what Realtek module is inside but try please install driver WLAN http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads

    All that you have done is logic and I think I will try the same thing.
    Have you tried to connect to WEP or WPA is disabled? I mean free WLAN without protection.
    Have you tried to connect your laptop to a friend's router?

    I really put t know what is the problem here but there are a few bad setting it.
