Problem connecting to the wireless LAN.

My roommate and I just got wireless internet. She can connect without a problem by using his laptop, but refuses to my office. I have a B of Linksys Wireless USB adapter. Let's get our wireless network, he'll tell me that the network is out of range when I try to join. When I go to do it manually, it says "the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. "I read somewhere that WEP data encryption may have to be modified in the WAP format, but this format is not an option on my computer.  It seemed that I needed to download. If it's my problem, I have another question, how do I download something from the internet when the problem is that my computer does not have the internet?

The message about "5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters" means the WEP encryption (which is essentially no encryption as much as anyone other that the more casual intruder is concerned).  Yes, you should use WPA or WPA2 encryption, but your old wireless adapter may not support one of the people.

You most likely problem is that the wireless router is configured to use wireless-G only.  You must be the one controlling the router enter the configuration utility and set it to allow two G and B.  If you identify the make and model of the router, I can tell you how to do it--assuming you have access to the router.

You can consider buying a new wireless adapter.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=wireless+usb+adapter (read the comments before you select only on the price)

  • Tecra M3: Cannot connect to the wireless LAN

    Hi all

    Since yesterday I have a problem with my wireless connection:
    When I turn on the without orange wire the led light show but on the network connection, the message is: 'Not connected' and try on icon Office not start and display a red cross.

    Why? Where is the problem?
    I have upgrated readers... but not found
    Before yesterday, the connection worked fine.

    Help me please :-((

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know what icon on the desktop you want to say but perhaps you intervene on the Wlan icon that appears in the taskbar.

    In any case, to establish a connection to the wireless LAN laptop side switch must be enabled and you must also use the FN + F8 key combination to switch to the WLan.

    Did you check that?

    By the way; If there is a software problem, I recommend to use the System Restore tool and reverse the operating system to the beginning.

    Good day

  • Laptop does not connect to the wireless LAN

    My knees worked well with the wireless and then suddenly won't go to any website. Laptop is connected wireless but does not to any website... If I go to solve problems... Windows Firewall is mentioned. Can anyone help?

    You mentioned the windows firewall in your message...
    It is possible that the active windows firewall prevents you from connecting and loading website...

    Usually active firewall should not create problems and its not recommended to disable the firewall internal system but in your case, you can try to disable the firewall for testing purposes...

    To open Windows Firewall go to control panel - Windows Firewall.
    Enable or disable, and then click turn on the Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Then click on disable Windows Firewall in each network location that you want to stop trying to protect, and then click OK.

  • Connectivity of the wireless router problem

    I have a Cisco's Linksys WRT160N wireless router.  After it is up and running, all my wireless devices work fine.  My sons Wii for my laptop, my wifes iPod Touch. But the strangest thing is happening.  I have problems connecting to the internet with my desktop computer that is hard wired to the linksys router.

    Often I can connect any... other times it's quite slow compared to when I plug my office directly to a cable modem.  Finally, sometimes certain aspects of the Web page will appear while others won't.

    Question: Is damaged?  Or is there something that I am missing.  You would think it would be right forweard enough... OH, I have also replaced the cables from the desktop to the router and have already done all the reboot that I care to do as well as redo the ip address in the part of the repair of my control panel.

    Any ideas?

    Access the Page of configuration of your router and lower the MTU size of the router to Auto/1500 to 1400.

  • Problem of not seeing list drop-down connection to the wireless network when checking connections network - pc windows 7.

    Problem of not seeing list drop-down connection to the wireless network when checking connections network - pc windows 7.

    I just installed a Belkin modem-router - which went well. Can I connect WiFi gadgets etc. I can also connect to the internet via a network cable to my pc. I also installed a belkin usb wireless adapter and in Device Manager, says it is enabled and works.

    My problem is, I have no way of choice get a WiFi PC to display in the list (from the notification area) and cannot get the pc to give me options to create a wi - fi connection. The more I get to try to do that is "unexpected error"!

    If someone could help on this - I would be very grateful

    Good news - update of my ongoing saga with this Belkin modem/router.

    Got the pc to see wi - fi now. It turned out to be the Zone Alarm! As the router has a firewall, I uninstalled Zone Alarm completely. Also, I went into the properties of belkin usb and checked it was the most recent drivers, it does not so I installed them.

    So far so good

    Thanks for the help

  • Satellite M645-S4070 - unable to connect to the wireless network

    Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite M645-S4070.

    Lately, I have no problem connecting to networks wireless in my office. Until this morning when I start my laptop, I can't connect to the internet more. I already use a recovery disk to check if I can solve the problem but nothing is. When it connects to the LAN it runs.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    The wireless network adapter is listed correctly in the Device Manager? It is maybe just disabled, and you can enable/disable using FN + F9 key combination.

    You should write more details not connection might mean everything, so first of all, that you should check if the wireless network adapter is recognized and activated correctly.

  • Why can't I access the modem 192.168.1.1 when connected to the wireless router?

    I'm unable to access my DSL Modem 6100 Westell using 192.168.1.1 when connected to the Netgear WNDR3400 wireless router. I can access it, however, when I connect directly to the ethernet port on the computer without going through the router. I've set up according to the instructions. Is it possible to correct the problem?

    This isn't a problem.  This is the standard behavior.  You are connected to the side LAN of the router that is isolated from the side WAN (uplink).  This is the mode of operation of routers.

  • Inspiron E1505 having to stay connected via the wireles lan

    As of the end of the wireless lan or the wireless internet to my laptop works intermittently or not at all. I am running Windows XP Home edition Media. The laptop used to connect to my router wirelessly with no problems and stay connected. I did all the evil that shooting the self-help site Dell says to do. I can see my wireless router and that you have entered the WEP key. I downloaded the updated for the wireless card drivers. I have another laptop in Vista that will connect to the same router without problem so I'm pretty sure is not the router. When the connection is de-energized, I go to the network connections page and see that the wireless network connection has a red X through it. After that some playing around, I have may come back, the red X goes.  When I right click the wireless internet to wireless networks available veiw upward opens a screen that says "Windows cannot configure the wireless connection.

    Hello

    I need to change my Bluetooth device with another which has two facilities (Bluetooth & Wi Fi) or I need to upgrade the software only?

    If necessary to use the different device, how this device connects to my note and what is the serial number?

    Hello

    You re right. The laptop is scalable WLan. As Lucky has already said you need a card WLan minPCI like this:
    PA3212U-1MPC wireless LAN card

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find a cache location WLan, which is fixed with a screw.
    Here, you can connect the minPCI wireless network card to the Board of Directors. 2 cables must be connected as follows:
