• Cisco linksys router and cannot access the wireless network

  We have cisco linksys wireless router.  When we installed everything first, we could connect our wireless laptops to the network.  Now, however, the network is detected, but there is no access to the internet.  We have even a guy from ATT were out and he said that the wireless router has been installed backwards?  He installed a dsl fast access on our laptop icon, and now we can access the wireless network but only if we connect as the first.  We can also connect iPod to the wireless network.  They detect the network, but when we enter the password cannot connect.

• How to get two laptops to access the wireless network.

  My chip wireless on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (intel pro wireless 3954bg) can find the wireless network if I use Intel Pro software, but Windows cannot find the wireless network. My real growth problem trying to connect a second computer; an IBM T42 think Pad computer to the wireless network, but I get a message that the network is secure, and the second computer keeps trying to acquire an address, but will not acquire an address. He just continues to try to acquire again and again, he can never acquire it. 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. I go around and try to understand it. Someone at - it information to solve this problem? Both computers are runing Windows XP Pro SP3. My wireless router is a Belkin54g (F5D7230-4V8000)

  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.

  I get a message that the network is secure, and the second computer guard trying to acquire an address, but will not acquire an address

  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.

• I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message

  I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message: "the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 characters ascii or hexadecimal 10 or 26. "what does this error message mean and how do I address so that I can access the wireless network?

  I use XP Professional with service pack 3. I get this error message every other time I try to log in to a protected wireless network security. I used to not get this message; but, now, it may be impossible, sometimes to call all wireless providers when I might only need for a short period or after hours service opening.

  In addition, it is my computer that requires the network password to be different, not the provider of wireless. A password is given to me who works for other users, but my computer won't let me use it.

• Access to the wireless network

  All of a sudden I can't access my wireless network that I use for this computer for 2 years.  My modem works as I have tested.  But it does not find my wireless network.

  Hello

  Power Off (Unplug) your Modem (cable, DSL or other type ISP service you are using) and the router and waiting
  3 minutes and power and then turn it back on. Then, restart the computer.

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. Use a wire or download the drivers on
  another computer then transfer them using removable media.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for card (NIC) network and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they

• where can I find the security code to access my wireless network

  security key

  where can I find the security code to access my wireless network.

  Hello

  Check with the manufacturer of the router's support and most have forums and excellent documentation online.
  You should be able to access the router to set a new SSID and password if necessary.

  You must know the SSID (name of the router) and the password.

  If you do not know these you can find in the running on the WiFi system now with this
  free tool. This is not a crack, it should be run on a local computer that has access (or access)
  to your router. Sure, the information will not be there if Windows was reinstalled or information
  has been deleted otherwise.

• After that Windows 7 conclusion "No Internet access" in the wireless network?

  I have a USB wireless network card installed in my office. All judging by the "connected network" showed, that he manages to connect to my wireless router, with I can't visit all websites due to "free Internet access". Only if I move my router where (almost) no wall blocking the path between my office and the router, will be solved the problem.

  There is no problems surfing the Internet using my laptop (Windows XP) and the iPad, which also connect to the router.

  I don't know what "No Internet access" while "Connected network" appears. To understand this, perhaps I should know what Windows 7 draws the conclusion "No Internet access" to the wireless network.

  Thank you, everyone. I managed to figure out the problem last night. With this document that I found by Googling, http://www.usb.org/developers/whitepapers/327216.pdf, I tried to disconnect my DVD ROM USB plugged next to my wireless network card and found that this really WORKED, although the DVD ROM is USB 2.0 instead of 3.0.

  In addition, as Shawn "Cmdr" Keene [MVP] said, I really need to I ignore the message "connected network". I ran the Ipconfig/all command frequently and found that sometimes the IP address of my wireless network card was no longer * 192.168.0 and the gateway, and the IP addresses of the DNS servers are null, even if the message "Connected network" remained all the time.

  Hope this helps others who also have this problem, even though my English is not very good. : )

• 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.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  In fact, I solved the problem. Something about the wifi light on the printer. It can not be flashing, I don't know what the blue light flashes on the wofo of the printer, but I don't think that it means that the wifi is on.

• 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?

  Hello @Joahkim!

  Welcome to the HP community!

  I understand that you have a problem to set up all-in-one printer wireless HP Photosmart (B109n) with your new MacBook Air OS x 10.10. I want to help you with this.

  Have you changed your router or your password since the MacBook Air? If this is not the case, your printer can still be connected to the network and the trickiest part of that place will be done for us already.

  We will print a Network Configuration report to see if it is connected:

  • On the Control Panel, press the button next to Scan. The Scan/Wireless menu.

• Avoiding PC not allowed to connect to the wireless network

  AA: For wireless in our establishment, we have access Points on all floors that are in turn connected to the main server PC.
  When I opened the "wireless network connection state", click 'Wireless properties', then select 'Security', it shows the following:
  Security type: no authentication (Open)
  Encryption type: WEP
  Network security key *.
  When the "Show characters" checkbox is selected, it shows the "network security key.
  Is it possible that this security key can be hidden and therefore not visible at all. This avoids computers are not allowed to connect to the network.
  All PCs are loaded with windows 7.

  Change in WPA2.
  Put a password on that isn't easy to guess and is greater than 8 characters.
   
  The security key you are watching is on your computer - you have entered it or allowed him to be registered.  Except if you give someone access to that computer (or a similar) they will not be able to get to this part of the system to see what you see.  If you give people access to the use of these systems, do not give them administrative access - they must only use computers as * users *.

• 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.

  The day after the printer is found on the network by PC, running Windows or Mac 8.1 on the network (under Leopard through Yosemite.

  Reset printer settings by default, in the wireless network data and verified that it is on the network (wireless diagnostics confirm the network name, config, port and switch Diagnostics).  Still cannot be found on the wireless network.  I know that it is on the network, because it can access internet functions.

  Repeated configuration via USB for settings wireless program.  Receive error message indicating the wireless settings have been communicated successfully to the printer, but the printer is not found on the wireless network.

  Can happen that the intellectual property of the Explorer of your computer?

  You can see any difference after the reboot of the router?
