wireless network is no longer listed under "available wireless network.

Have a router MN-500 with modem cable connection. Wireless connectivity has been running successfully for months. Came home last night during a snowstorm - apparently we had lost power temporarily while I was gone, as the clocks were flashing. Turned on my laptop (where I connect to wireless internet) and discovered that my own wireless network was is no longer listed under available wireless networks. Then I noticed on the router all lights were lit on the router with the exception of 4 ports. I disconnected and reconnected. Then I reset with a paperclip. Always shows does not itself. Now, I don't know what to do; even do not know where the shoe pinches. Although I managed to set up the network by myself I'm not a computer expert. We can connect by cable via the router, but my wireless network has apparently disappeared. Any ideas/suggestions? Thank you.

If you connect to the router via a wired connection, you can check the status of the wireless.  Frankly, this router does not provide you with a good security because he can't stand that WEP (do not forget that it is b only). For reasons of safety only, you must consider replacing by a modern router that supports WPA2. If you have computers more former with older operating systems and wireless network cards that don't support WPA, take into account risk - data theft, identity theft, etc.

  • Network Wi - Fi has disappeared from the list of available networks

    My network name has disappeared from my list of available networks and all 7 of my wireless devices decreased by connectivity.  When I plug in the router, the computer searches the available networks and the indicator light on the Ethernet cable is green, which indicates a good connection, I.  When I click on the connection status icon in the menu bar it says I am connected to my network, but I have "no Internet access.  Simply unplug the router or on the button reset gave no positive results. In addition, my computer is several security updates, for Windows and my package of Microsoft Office when he lost of connectivity, which may or may not have something to do with my connectivity problems, I don't know.  Is someone can please help me diagnose this connectivity problem?  Also, I have a Linksys WRT54G Router model # v8.

    In addition to everything above, I notice an unsecured network called "Linksys" keeps coming back when I plug in my router and canning when I disconnect it in the process of disappearance.  Linksys is NOT the name of my network.  This seems awfully curious, why what is happening?

    I have House part for my iPhone and apple TV, but the iPhone libraries are not listed under computers on Apple TV.  I don't see libraries for my Mac.  I use the same identifier apple through the three devices. I have an iPhone 6 more working 9.0. The devices are all on the same home network running.

    You can't share a library that is located on an iPhone, iPod or iPad with other devices. You can only share a library that is located on a Mac or a PC with other devices. On other devices, iPhone, iPod and iPad for example, you then activate home sharing to connect to the shared library.

  • Non-existent folders are listed under my folders in PSE Organizer 11

    I posted this question before in this forum, but I think that it may not clear. I hope that, with the inclusion of this screenshot, I'll make myself more clear with my problem. Now, as you can see, a lot of folder names is listed under 'my files '. Although these records can have, at the same time, existed in my hard disk, each of them (with the exception of the pictures folder) have been removed from my hard drive some time ago. All right, so the problem is this: I can't delete these folders. If I right click on a folder name, the delete option is grayed out and inactive. In fact, the only option available after I right click one of these files is 'Create a snapshot Album,' which of course will not happen. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but to no avail. Someone at - he a clue as to how I can remove these unused folders?

    Thank you!

    Have you tried:

    1 use the option in the file menu "reconnect missing files? If you get a list of missing files and you are sure that they all have been removed from the catalog, you can use the little menu icon to get a dialog box allowing you to select all files and delete them from the catalog.

    2. probably not related to you the problem, but a measure of good safet, use the option to repair the catalog (and fix it anyway).

  • I have an iMac, but no other Apple products, and keeping in mind the long list of issues of update for Sierra, is there an advantage to update me?

    I have an iMac, but no other Apple product, and given the long list of problems on the pages of the community regarding the update for Sierra, is there an advantage to update me?

    You won't see anything, but the problems reported here most of the time. This is a support forum. People without problems, much more numerous than those having problems, but they are not seeking this community to report this fact.

    I have updated both my 2014 11 "MBA and my iMac 2011. No real problem. Performance on the iMac has been well below normal after the upgrade, but pretty much a reboot fixed that.

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
    Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

    I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

    Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

    If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

    It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

    Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

    You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

    If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?
