Help, please...

Because I'm not sure which router you have that's going to be quite general.

Click Start, go in run, type "CMD" and in the command prompt, type "IPCONFIG" no citation.

Find the address of a default gateway and enter this address in the address bar of your web browser. You will be asked to enter a user name and password. It is common that it is admin/admin, admin/password, admin/1234. After getting that distant and connected, an update so that we can better you go after knowledge that makes your router. If you happens to go there and feel comfortable going forward, look for the wireless settings tab and there should be a sub-category of security. Use WPA2-PSK, whatever you ask for password will be your new password in order to access your wireless network.

  • How insecure is an unsecured wifi connection?

    When you sign to a non-secure network connection (say McDonald's) - how unsecured is - this about someone see my information?

    For example, if I had to put a password - is this visible to anyone who attempts to get information?

    What about using something like GoToMyPC where my home computer comes to my remote computer screen?  If I work an unsecured connection, can someone hack info from my computer?

    Thank you!

    Completely uncertain. Never do anything important or requires a security when you're on a public wireless network. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I can't get the wireless connection appears on the list__ of 'network connections '.

    Only, I had to reformat my Latitude D31 and don't know how to do the wireless network connection appears on the list of network connections.  The without line is turned on and the router works.

    On a relative (sort of) topic, before reformat, I got a blue screen that says since more memory was used that was installed, there was no memory for something else.  The computer is running (I reinstalled Windows XP, but in Setup the message still arrives.  Is this normal?

    Hello

    Old laptops use to come with very little memory.  Since then, software exceed the amount of memory installed

    Check the amount of memory you have and see if you can upgrade.

    You can find and expanded manual on Dell' support for the laptop.

    Regarding the wireless.

    It is possible that the wireless card is not operational and need to reinstall drivers.

    Maybe this can help.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  • How to change the connection to a wifi network?

    PIC - developer preview
    I entered a wrong connection when connecting the first time to the network, I can not understand how to change it.

    Hi Olivvv,

    Thank you for your question about Firefox OS! You can remove the network (and the credentials you entered in this first time) as follows:

    1. go to settings > WiFi

    2. scroll the advanced settings and press the button 'manage media '.

    3. press the button "forget network".

    Alternatively, you can type the network name in the list on the screen of WiFi and tap Forget in the upper right.

    4. then, you want to enable / disable WiFi, find your network of your choice and enter the credentials again.

    Let me know if you need more help,

    Could someone tell me that I have a laptop that is compatible with the adapter wireless Athreos in it and it catches an unsecured, network shown as next (automatic) for the SSID (network name). I tried parameter as point of access, AD-hoc, Connect automatticaly etc but will not connect... Please tell me how to connect...

    Hi Sumit and thanks for posting.

    Your Athreos has never connected? If it has connected then it not only connects it to insecure networks? Also after can trying to connect you do the following?

    Start, run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:

    Type the following command:

    IPCONFIG/ALL

    [Note that there is no space between the oblique and ALL bar].

    Right click in the command window and choose Select all, and then press ENTER.
