• Strangest thing: iPhones can't see the wireless network. Why not?

  Suddenly, an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 6 were not connected to the home network. I thought that the wireless router was to have a hiccup. Reset it and still no. Control a connected computer and internet. Thought that it was a wireless problem, but check the settings (I don't mess with) and they are fine. BUT, I realized my iPad is always connected to the network. IPhones don't even see the wireless network. SSID always broadcast on. I tried to enter the SSID and password manually, but iPhones say that the network does not exist. It's the strangest thing. What would make the invisible network for phones all of a sudden? Both phones are differnet OS running. One is the latest version, probably the previous version. It's a FiOS Actiontec router/router wireless. Everyone has heard of such a thing? I do not understand how it is possible...

  Try this on an iPhone. No matter which even with other iOS.

  Tap settings > general > reset > reset network settings

  You will need to enter the password for Wi - Fi.

• Satellite Pro U400 (XP pro) cannot connect to the wireless network

  I got a U400 straight out of the box. I installed XP pro through the disc of recovery without any problem, except that I am not able to connect to the Wi-Fi here. (Other devices connect very well so the problem is at the end of the laptop) I tried to update via windows update (SP3) via a wired LAN connection but still the same problem. Other posts here have any suggestions for downloading new drivers from realtek. All of the solutions presented do not work for me. Anything else I can try?

  I am able to see all the wireless networks that are available in the range and may try to connect (provide the WPA password) but after watching the "preparation to connect" screen for a while he seems to abandon without reporting any error

  Hi guys

  First check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
  Second, clear all options of the router WLan security (filtering by MAC address, Firewall, encryption of WLan, etc.) and try to establish the WiFi connection.

  If you're going to succeed the problem is certainly related to the encryption settings
  Step by step, activate the settings and set up the router again.

  Good luck

  You can control a with either wireless network adapter software integrated in Windows XP (or WZC Wireless Zero Configuration) or with software provided by the manufacturer of the card (for example, Intel PROSet/Wireless), but not both at the same time.

  Most, but not all, software configuration wireless no Windows is smart enough to disable WZC automatically.

  There are a few sites that offer "safety tips" for wireless networks which includes 'hide' your wireless network by disabling the SSID broadcast.  This is not a good idea and does not, in fact, your wireless security.  See http://blogs.technet.com/b/steriley/archive/2007/10/16/myth-vs-reality-wireless-ssids.aspx if you have disabled broadcast SSID of your router, automatic configuration won't be able to find it.

  If you have enabled encryption wireless router (a very good idea), you will need to enter the correct password in order to connect a find an IP address. What type of wireless encryption configured on the router?

  This second computer using Windows to configure the Wi - Fi connection and was working fine until I tried to connect the Dell laptop upward. Then the IBM laptop cannot acquire an address.

  You have changed something else.  The idea of a wireless network is to allow multiple computers to connect; connection to a computer shouldn't affect how another computer connects.

  The easiest way is to configure your router to connect a computer using an Ethernet cable (if you connect wireless, you will be disconnected when you make a change to the configuration of the router wireless).  For the Belkin router User Guide is here--> http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p74559-f_f5d7230-4v8xxx_manual.pdf

  Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type 192.168.2.1 in the address box.  You should get to the home page of the router. Click on the "Login" link at the top.  The default password for the router is blank (no password) unless you changed it.

  Click on the link "Channel and SSID" under the heading "wireless" on the left side of the page.

  • Make sure that there is to check the "Broadcast SSID"
  • "Wireless mode" should be "g only" or "fashion g and b" (the latter is necessary only if you have a very old b wireless adapter in one of your computers)
  • I suggest you let off QoS (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
  • The wireless channel should be 1, 6 or 11.  If you have no difficulties, let him you will find
  • "Protected mode" should be off (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
  • If you make changes, click on "Apply Changes".

  Click on the 'Security' line under the heading "wireless".  You should be able to see both what type (if any) encryption is configured (64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and the password (if any).  Unless your computer maps are old, you should use WPA2.  If the adapter in one or more of your computers is too old to be capable of WPA2, use WPA.  Regardless of the bit, WEP length, is easily broken.

• Router E4200, cannot secure the wireless network

  When my E4200 wireless network appears on a discovery list of wireless networks, there a padlock beside him in devices (like my Xbox and iPhone) that who would use to show that it is a wireless network, requiring a password. When I use my Xbox to connect wireless now, he said: "you connect to an unsecured network. Are you sure you want to continue? »

  I used the web portal to select 'Factory Reset' of my router. I also told my iPhone to forget and not automatically connect wireless network. After factory reset, I went to the configuration section of the web page wireless network access router, put a new name for the wireless network, personal WPA2 enabled for 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, developed a completely new password for two I had never used before and then looked for the network on my iPhone. I chose it and it connected right away without asking for a password. Still once, the network does not appear with a padlock next to him in the list of devices to the network from my iPhone WiFi and my XBox says always that this is an unsecured network.

  When using my internet browser to access router, WiFi networks are both classified as WPA2 Personal and each has a password in the password box (and Yes, I recorded the changes - that's what it shows even if I disconnect and then reconnect to the router access.) I tried to remove the power cord for 30 seconds and plug in again and there is no change.

  It's quite a recent change, like maybe the last week or more. I don't know if there was a firmware update or what - my router is configured for auto updates and when I click to check the latest updates, it says that there are no more updates available.

  TL; Dr: said access my router my wireless security is turned on. None of my wireless devices see as secure WiFi networks and each of them can connect without having to type a password.

  Do a reset factory and set up from scratch.

  If this fails, try this:

  Manually download the FW file to the local office of PCs.
  Reset the router, use IE or FF with all security disabled add-ons, load the FW file and let you treat.
  Factory reset the router once more and set up from scratch.

• HP Deskjet 2540: My printer cannot connect to the wireless network (SSID is not found)

  Hello

  I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer that is configured to print using the USB cable, and I have no problem printing through it. I just bought a router (D-link DWR116) and I'm trying to set up the connection to the router wireless to my printer. When I use the printer setup & software and select the option "convert a connected USB printer wireless", I can choose to enter into the setting of the printer access the router automatically or manually. These two will come with the same problem where the program is my name SSID of the router successfully but then failed to connect to what the SSID is not found.

  It comes on it comes up with the error message:

  Question: You have manually entered the name of the network (SSID) cannot be found.
  Solution: Check that your wireless router is powered. When to manually enter the name of your network (SSID), make sure you enter exactly including upper and lower case and spaces.

  Which is meaningless because it came with the SSID earlier and I chose what options the wireless network available. I tried to manually enter the SSID, but after entering the password for the router, the same error message appears.

• HP Photosmart B109: cannot connect the printer to the wireless network

  I have some setting wrong my printer for wireless printing. It has worked well in the past, but with my new macbook air - this isn't.

  I can't access the function where to add the printer to the wireless network (my router does not support WPS so his password WPA).

  I remember setting this up on a PC - easy with the driver provided by HP, but on the Mac, the configuration tool does not appear to be a function where I add the printer to the wireless network - and HP did not provide a driver, because it is supposed to work with the mac built-in software.

  The manual says only: "follow the instructions on the screen", but the printer does not have instructions on how to connect - on-screen tests, only that it is connected...

  Anyone who knows how to add the printer to a wireless network?

• With regard to the wireless network

  I just changed the wifi password, but the wireless network is not visible on my desk. It is visible on the mobile phone. How can I solve this problem. Computer is to find other networks of my neighbor, but not my own.

  Try this:

  Go to manage networks.  Remove your network list here.  Now try to connect to a network again.

  Can be stored Windows password and now that you've changed, he is still trying the wrong password.  By removing the network, your system is open to find again and ask you your new password.
