• Key change for an existing XP wireless network

  I am running Windows XP.  I needed to change the key for my wireless network.  He's changed on my router and my iPad & Windows 7 laptop computer can connect to it.  I can not find the screen on my XP machine, which allows me to change the key.  Can someone tell me where to find it?

  What version of XP, including service pack (if of course, start > run > winver > OK)?

  • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  • Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties.
  • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab
  • You should look at this screen:   http://tinyurl.com/8lmz4
  • If you are not looking to the display shown in the screenshot or the box at the top to "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" is unchecked, STOP: you use a 3 rd-party utility to configure your wireless adapter and you need to figure out how to use that yourself or at least identification.
  • Assuming you use Windows to configure your wireless network card, find the SSID of your router (network name) in the list of preferred networks and 'delete '.
  • OK your way out.
  • Go to view available wireless networks, find yours, click connection and enter the new password when you are prompted.

  Alternatively, instead of removing your network in the list of preferred networks, you can click 'Properties' and then change the key in the tab "Association."  I suggest that you remove the network and let Windows find just in case something other that the key has been changed (for example, the type of encryption or algorithm).

• Problems with 9191 chassis for connection to a wireless network

  Hello

  I can't seem to connect a 9191 unit to our network wireless with WPA authentication mode. I am trying to connect to based on SonicWALL TZ 105 Wireless access point router. Our wireless network is configured with the WPA2-PSK security. When I go to the page of network configuration of 9191 our network appears, but then I get the error 'Invalid WEP Key' when I enter the security key and try to save the configuration (see picture). I tried to use the configuration according to MAX and the web. I have also established that the wireless connection can be done if I change the security mode of the router to WEP, but neighther WPA - PSK or WPA2-PSK work. I have not tried security modes of type business because they are not setup on our network. I tried to play with the WPA security settings, but did not have much chance.

  Any advice will be much appreciated!

  Kind regards

  Hi Misha.

  Apologies for not being clear - I was referring to the memory on the option of manual entry.

  Under network, select "other network".  This will allow to you manually type of entry security, SSID (network name) and WPA - PSK passphrase.

• For pavilion a6030n wireless network adapter

  Can anyone recommend a card for my Pavilion a6030n wireless network?  Maybe a good router too?

  Based on the specifications of your HP Pavilion a6030n desktop, you can use the traditional PCI cards and more recent PCIe wireless. In addition, you can also use an adapter without wire/USB dongle, if you do not want to open your computer.

  I would say get a dual band 802.11 wireless network card b/g/n at least, but you might want a wireless 802.11 adapter ac its better range and throughput. With respect to the router, I suggest to get an ac wireless router.

  802.11 b/g/n PCI/PCIe/adapters

  PCIe/USB 802.11 adapters

  routers wireless 802.11 ac

• 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

  Trying to help a friend with their laptop!  It's a Lenovo R61i laptop model A 8932, 54, around the age of 16 months.  WIN/XP SP3 is the only OS.  He was working on this wireless network until they are gone on vacation and tried to connect to public wireless networks! Their daughter portable computer continues to operate properly with this wireless network, and it also shows the neighborhood wireless networks as well.  The R61i has a built-in 'Pro\wireless Intel 3945ABG Network ' wireless wireless adapter.

  Connectivity and internet access works very well through the ethernet port.

  Here's what I've done so far:

  He has Norton AV.  I made sure that it was up to date and then ran a full system scan.  It was clean.

  Any help will be appreciated, and I WILL ANSWER about the results!

  Windows Update ran (after I got it work - see below) for all critical updates.

  Fact a "repair" on the wireless connection with these results:

  • Wireless networks detected
  • No wireless networks were found in range
  • Windows could not finish repairing the problem because it is impossible to perform the following action: connect to the wireless network

  That when the laptop is 5 feet of the wireless router.  It is a Dlink
  Updated the driver from Lenovo web site by the support of the Intel boards:

  • former pilot was 11.1.1.11
  • new driver is 12.4.0.21 with a date of 04/03/2009

  Went into the BIOS and reset the BIOS to its original, saved and reloaded settings.

  Checked the Device Manager.  Everything looks OK, no yellow or red devices

  Remove the network card and let Windows re - create.

  Disabled and enabled the network card

  Check the event logs.  The only entrance is on the system log.  I don't know if this event log entry is significant or not, but it's here:

  Source: NETw5x32, zero category, event 7036.
  The service entered the \DEVICE\{78E5EBB6-A194-4E9F-A840-E05CC39A5823} State.

  0028: 57 44 52 56 00 00 00 e7

  I have not yet tried it raise in "Safe Mode with networking".

  I would add that "Windows Update" was also not working. Graduation: A few updates have not been installed.  Error code 0 x 41. I had going in downloading and installing the latest version of Windows Installer 3.1, version 3.1.4001.5512

  Do not think that there is a relationship between these two issues, but stranger things have happened.

  The laptop has a 3-year extended warranty and I'm about to throw it in the face of Lenovo as a hardware error.  The thing that blows my mind is 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

  Hi Shawn

  Thank you for your help.  Here is the final solution to this problem.

  The "clean boot" you suggested worked as described, but it had no effect of awareness of wireless networks.  Ditto to start in "Safe Mode with network.  We took the laptop to Office Depot; They basically ran the same tests that I did, with the same results.  Their technology has managed to get it to connect to Wireless store by manually setting, but it would not show under 'view available networks '.  He suggested that we call their 800 support number.  The only novelty with that phone support guy came was to "Ping 127.0.0.1" which I don't think inherent in the wireless somehow.  He wanted me to call Comcast to check the internet connection.  Under the principle of "do not create a new problem while you're working on a problem", I resisted to go here as two other computers work fine on this connection from Comcast.

  We finally opted for a full charge of Windows.  This included a blue key on the laptop at boot to bring up "Rescue and recovery", then by specifying 'Restore my hard drive to the original factory condition' and "don't save all files" - we have previously saved the contents of "My Documents" on a USB key.  This charge really don't take as much time as I thought he might; only about an hour.  Most importantly - WIRELESS NETWORKS APPEAR NOW; and connect as it should!  We had to apply SP3 as reloading he brought back to SP2 status.

  I guess the lesson here is that sometimes he just reload Windows is the shortest possible solution to some of these mysterious problems.

  I had a hard time to convince me it was a hardware problem, when the system detects wireless networks but are simply not them!

  Thanks again for your help.

• Wireless network connection

  I am an employee of Life Insurance Corporation of India.When I turn on my PC in the office premises, a connection named "dlink" appears in my PC. After the connection (without using any modem or external device) I can browse the internet. How is that possible? The brief description of the connection is the following:

  Wireless network connection

  Connectivity: Internet IPv4

  Name: dlink

  Strength: good signal/fair/poor

  Security type: unsecured

  Radio type: 802.11n

  SSID:Dlink

  Should I access the internet by connecting through this link? Y at - it all threat to the security of my personal information or whether it's bad for me. Please notify. The link also shows a message that "the information transmitted by means of this link can be visible to others". Please specify.

  Hi SANJIT_78,

  ·         The computer is connected to a domain environment?

  ·         Are you facing any performance issue with wireless network connection?

  ·         What operating system is installed on the computer?

  The computer you are using apparently have a wireless network interface installed in it and therefore can detect and connect to any available wireless network. The dlink network is the name of a wireless network available in your area and your computer to connect to this wireless network.

  Wireless networks more private need a password to connect to them and therefore are protected. But the dlink network to which you are connecting is apparently a public wireless network, and it doesn't have a password to connect to it. So which allows any user to connect their devices to this network wireless. Due to this insecure wireless network mode, your computer displays you the message "the information transmitted through this link may be visible to others". If you want to connect to this wireless network, I suggest you first protect your computer with a good program antivirus and firewall.

  To enable the Windows Firewall on your computer, you can check this link:

  How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

  Hi Cath.

  In most cases, it is a configuration in the BIOS of the laptop that will solve the wireless by card.

  Then start the laptop enter in BIOS and look for an entry that configure the wireless to be all the time card.

  Where necessary the manual or computer support site must have the necessary info.

  Hello Dave

  I fear that some router configurations will not. I recommend you contact your ISP and verify with them all the settings of the router.

  The same problem was one of my friends. There must be something wrong with the settings of the router.
  Have you ever talked with ISP?
