No Connectivity When Connecting To A Wireless Router
Mar 23, 2008
I have an intermittent problem that is driving me nuts! I am using Vista Home Premium on a Dell 1501 with an internal wireless card. My router is on a pc running XP. The router is a linksys WRT55AG running 802.11g. All of my other computers have no problem connecting to the router through wireless. The vista machine goes into this fit 80% of the time where I get the infamous yellow triangle telling me I have limited or no connectivity and I can not access internet (Local only - whatever that means). I went to Microsoft help page and found out that the power saving feature messes things up and since then I am running at high power so that's not the issue. It does not matter where the computer is. Even if I am sitting right next to the router, it still does not connect to internet. 20% of the time it starts right up (like right now) and I get the little earth thing on the taskbar and I can get to the internet. Dell of couse said it is a Vista issue and I am sure Microsoft will tell me it is a Dell issue. There is nothing wrong with the wireless card and I have run all kinds of diagnostics on it and it has the latest driver.

I have a Belkin wireless-N router. I have 3 computers hardwired, and 3 computers that are wireless with a passphase. My new Vista computer is finding my network, but when I ask to connect I receive an "Enter Credetials" window asking for a User name, Password, and Logon Domain. Never saw this with XP. What do I need to enter, or what do I need to do to bypass this window?!

I have forgotten the Username and Password for the Login ID... and it is not the default (Username: *blank* Password: admin). I have heard you can hold the reset button on the back of the wireless router but will this reset my wireless network? By that i mean... will i be able to connect with my laptop still through that wireless network or will i have to set it up again?

I recently bought an hp laptop with windows vista and the wireless netgear router 614 v8. However the connection is always dropping, and usually won't connect after coming out of sleep, it can't be a problem with the router because there are other computers not vista that have no connection problems. Do i need to change any setting on my comp? restarting the router does nothing

a friend has a new sony vaio with vista home premium installed. For some reason it will not connect to my netgear router wirelessly. I have tried everything. I am however not too hot on Vista as this is my first time with it. The adaptor says its on, but when you interegate it and ask why it wont connect it keeps telling me "switch on wireless adaptor capability". In the network connections it is on, the switch on the front right is swiitched on and the wireless network light on the front is on. The network is fine and working as i have my laptop connected to it. All security is present and entered. It seems to be the computer as it doesnt find any networks when there are loads in the area. Am i missing something exceptionally obvious? Does Vista have another "on" switch for this adaptor?

My Packard Bell EasyNote MX37-U-05 (Running Vista Home premium) was working fne on a wireless network through a BT Wireless home hub. It did automatic updates and since then has connection problem reporting "limited Connectivity" what does this mean and how can I cure this problem? It seems to be the same if I connect through the Wireless or direct on the hub Lan connection.

Hey guys ive got a Netgear USB wireless adaptor its the WN111. Theres 64 bit drivers for it but I believe they are beta drivers and the card has proven to be unreliable. It constantly disconnects and I get a connection probably 50% of the time.

I am one of the many users experiencing problems with wireless connections that work until your laptop goes into powersave mode, then only allow "Limited or No Connectivity" I have 2 wireless routers, a Linksys and ActionTec, supplied by Verizon with FiOS and Linksys has helped me a couple of times to make it work but that is all. Verizon is clueless. As am I since I have 4 XP laptops that all work. Vista is apparently trying to prevent me from hurting myself, and therefore I am unable to fix it.

I have a home network with a linksys wrt54gs router and 3 pc's running XP home. home and pro. I got a new Vista computer and inserted a linksys wmp54gs wireless adapter into it. I updated the router firmware a week before I got the new computer. I connected to the internet even though I had the wrong workgroup name. In attempting to find the other computers I fixed the workgroup name so it was the same and tried other things to no avail. I updated the adapter drivers because I found it had generic ones and yesterday I installed Vista SP1.
Now I can't get the internet anymore, much less file sharing. I disabled all firewalls for awhile. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON, Network set to Private, File Sharing: ON, Public Folder Sharing: ON, Password Protected: OFF, Media Sharing: OFF. I've run the repair wizard a number of different ways. I don't know enough to fool with Wireless Network Connection Properties unless someone holds my hand.
Here's what ipconfig says: Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : HPQuad
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No...........

We have a home wireless network with a laptop and desktop both on XP. I've successfully added my new laptop with Vista to the network, but cannot connect to the printer that runs through the XP desktop. I've scanned some of the discussions, but nothing has worked so far. I've checked all the firewall settings, have file, printer and public sharing set on the Vista laptop.
The desktop PC is hardwired to the wireless router. The other XP laptop still prints through the system as normal. it's a Dell AIO 922 printer that has an XP based driver. Ihaven't been able to find a Vista driver for that printer. Do I just need a newer printer?

I recently got a sony vaio laptop installed vista and my wireless router will not work. I had no problems using it when I had my previous laptop, a HP with windows XP. When i try to connect to the router I am trying to install I get a message saying the computer cannot find any connection and to try again, I can assure I have done all the steps correctly. I also tried to connect to other wireless connections in my area as a test because i can't i get a message saying cannot connect. (and I have checked that the WLAN is on everytime).

here is the setup, I have a Laptop with a wired 10/100/100 jack and a wireless card built in A/B/G. I have a wireless router at home that does B/G, I connect to it at G. The wireless router also has 5 10/100 ports on the back. From the wireless router I go into a cable modem, pretty standard setup so far, here is where gets fun. I have the option of "bundling" my download speeds and upload speeds with the installation of a 2nd cable modem. What I am unsure opf is how exactle this setup would work. Going to attach a pic and see what you all have in the way of advice: Basically, the 2 connections from the cable modems are 15down and 2up each, my cable company will allow me to combine the connections (they will set it up on their end) so I have 30down 4up, what I dont know is how top do it on MY end. I am attaching a word doc with a drawing to explain better. I am running Vista64 Ultimate w/sp1

I have a BIG problem with my wireless network. I have two PC, one with vista ultimate X64 sp1 and another with both the same vista version plus XP sp3 X86 installed. my wireless network is based on ASUS, one router (with vista support) and another WIFI adapter installed on my second PC and as you might guess my main PC is connected to the router via the standard cable. I using WPA2 with a 63 ASCII PSK and it just works well with my XP sp3 but simply when I log in to vista it can't connect to my router, Vista can find my WIFI singal and say that it has a Good-Excellent signal. I downloaded and installed the x64 version of driver for my WIFI Adapter from ASUS website and it seems it should work. I tried everything. checking password...make it shorter reading articles about netWORKING.

I bought a Netgear wireless router today so I can hook up multiple computers in my home. Problem is that when I hook everything according to the -schematics it does not go as planned. I have a verizon dsl modem and before I hook up my router everything works (internet). But when I connect my router I cannot get a connection at all. Also after I disconnected the router and connect just the dsl modem the way it was before I cannot get a connection either. I tried reseting the dsl box and I unhooked all the phone cords and ethernet cords and restarted the computer and it is still a no go. I am so confused I cannot understand it.

Just got a new Dell Desktop with wireless card pre-installed. I have an existing wireless router that all three of my other machines (XP) can see and connect to just fine. No matter what I seem to do, the Vista machine tells me there are no networks available. I've tried re-booting, re-freshing the Network list, waiting and re-freshing, turning off various automatic features, etc. Nothing seems to work and I need to connect to the Internet to update the PC with the numerous security patches Vista needs when first
starting up.

My family and i just got a new dell laptop with vista on it, but it will not connect to our home internet connection. We use a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, Model WRT54G. I've tried various guides and searched high and low for an answer. When I try to connect to the network Linksys, It says
'Windows cannot connect to Linksys'.
Then, it says
"Make sure your computer is in range of "linksys" and that the network settings match the wireless router or access point settings"
All our other computers work fine with it, A laptop running XP, Our Home computer running XP, and even an iphone.
I'm not sure what that diagnostic is supposed to mean and I'm not familiar with vista at all.

I have had this router for some time - worked fine with Xp64 - now I've upgraded to Vista 64 Home, it will occasionally lock up. By that I mean that I can sometimes still see my local network, but I lose internect connectivity. I seems to be at random. But the impression I get is that it is something on the wireless network that is causing it as it seems to be worse if I connect my works laptop to the internet via a wireless VPN connection.
I also have a WB NAS drive connected (Soon to be ditched due to problems with it corrupting files and being extremely slow to extract data) and a Wii (Wireless). Or can any recommend a ADSL wireless router that works well with Vista? (I have to run the PC and NAS drive with static IP addresses due to the time it takes for the network to connect if I use DHCP)

Without getting into a rant here, I need to find out if there is any other device that I can use to connect the Xbox 360 wirelessly to my network... I refuse to pay ONE HUNDRED GREENBACKS to Microsoft for a simple wireless adapter.
Connecting the 360 to the router via wired is NOT even an option I am willing to discuss, you will just have to trust me that it would be a royal PITA if I were to got that route. I found another post in the Media Center and I will be doing that once I can get this box to hook up wireless w/o the need to sell one of my kids to buy the adapter

I have a small home network, wired right now. I would like to add a wireless access point for near future laptops. Can I add a second router that is wireless to my wired network with having to load router software on a second computer. Is this even possible. My network consists of my PC, HP M8300f desktop PC as home base/client and cable modem with linksys wired router, BEFSR41 connected to a dell 2400 desktop. I am wanting to add a linksys wireless router WRT54G some where in the living room for and access point. Do I have to load the software on the Dell PC or can I just plug in router to wall socket and connect wirelessly that way.

I have a 16.000kbps ADSL2+ broadband, and a D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router connected to it. Currently I have a laptop, a stationary computer, and my xbox 360 connected to it. All wireless. Everything is fine when I have only one connected at a time, but when I connect my stationary and my xbox 360 at the same time, it seems like I get a crash somewhere now and then, and I cant figure out what it is. When I logon COD4 to play, I get 'connection interrupted' every.. ~15-30min, wich causes me to go offline. When I download anything on my stationary, it seems like the internet connection 'goes down', or 'hangs' for ~20secs. That would be the same problem on both systems (x360 and PC). I have tried to lock an IP to their MAC-Adresses, so an IP-Conflict could not be possible. I have UPNP enabled, and all ports etc. Still this is happening.

Have high speed internet. Have a 3gbsdram. And I have a router that is a g. Would I benefit as far as computer speed on the net with a router that is an n router. Also even though the computer says 802.11 a/g/n wireless I still would have to buy the the adapter that goes into the notebook? I know nothing about routers and the fact we have a g router it doesn't have an adapter needed for the computer to work. Was wondering if that is the same case with a wireless n router?
