Unable To Get Wifi Connection Using D-Link Dir-615?
Aug 21, 2011
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7. Initial set-up went fine but I cannot connect to router. I have a MAC using the wi-fi and I can also connect an iPhone, a Linux, and another Acer laptop using Windows 7...but the new laptop is not working. My connection is showing on the menu but once I enter the security key, I get a message saying it cannot connect.I restarted the router, went over the whole router set-up again, connected the Ethernet cable to the laptop while trying to set-up the wi-fi, but after numerous trials, nothing worked.
Redlegs here from Adelaide , Sth Aust. Have had to replace my HP printer ( been given last rites after 5 years )with recommended Epson printer. HP was WiFi connected to laptop which is in another room from the PC and printer and had been working perfectly.I have brought the laptop into the room with the PC and printer. First problem arose as I was told " incorrect " password. Router is a DI- 524 ( no longer supported on D- Link's web page as 5 yrs old ) After several attempts and " hissy fits " , I was able to poke around in a help web page and I think I found the password , tho it was listed as the " Preshare Key ".Have been using the Epson Installation disc and things seem to go along smoothly , then it always bombs out --" Not connected " message appears, I print out a Status Report it's fairly long and a little hard to interpret , but it does say the password " does not match the one set for your router/access point" .I did have some probs when I first linked my previous printer to the laptop , some years ago , but can't recall the many steps I went through back then.Have got W7 , Epson printer model is WF 3520, laptop is a Toshiba.
Can someone link to Windows 7 drivers for this card Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. I have serched everywhere and I am only able to install vista ones but I want to install Windows 7 drivers instead of vista.
I just got a new laptop with an Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN network card.
When I plug the Ethernet cable in the laptop it works fine but when I try to connect to the router wireless, it says it cannot connect.
I have tried unplugging the router and the signal is strong. I have set "network discovery" in the settings.
I have never used wireless before. I assume it's something simple. What other steps do I need to take?
I have noticed the signal from the router is VERY strong, then a minute later, it's not even listed. Do I need to set up a wireless network on the router? or do they automatically send out the signal?
I also set up WPA (personal) on the router. It asks for the password and says "Windows could not connect"
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but for the past few weeks, I've been experiencing constant connection drops(I've concluded it that it's the router because both the modem (sb6120) and the router shows the amount of time it's been up) and everytime the connection drops, the router would show that it had just rebooted. Should I reset all my router configurations or is it something else that is the problem?
I have a Gateway FX series 17" laptop and yesterday when I got home from university and took the computer out of my bag to start working, the wireless card just didnt exist, no networks were recognized and when i tried to troubleshoot it told me that no device was connected. Wired internet works just fine. And the wireless card appears in the device manager.
Not sure what happened, but starting this afternoon, Explorer 9 (released version via automatic update) will not open a link in a new tab, nor will it open that line into a new explorer window.Looked at multiple complaints and fixes for this, none worked (including the scripts). recent automatic windows 7 update to "allow further updates", I used firefox for the first time - note did not set it as the default, there was a java update and an adobe update. This machine is windows 7 sp1, completely updated 64bit home premium system. Turned off all the add ons, restarted - didn't fix it. Tried the script for the same problem, that didn't work. All the resetting has done, is removed the tool bars I like to use and it still doesn't work.
I have a Lenovo, Windows 7 Home premium 32bit. McAfee controlling my firewall. Unable to connect to internet. Connects to my wireless network. Timewarner has given up since my other HP xp computer works. Router has problems but works OK with my HP and vonage devices.
The router is D-Link WBR-1510. finding if this router is compatible to Win 7?
How do I "blow out the NIC"? How do I identify devices from drivers to uninstall?
with a not connecting to the internet situation over wifi. and i told her to use (netsh int reset c:\reset.txt) in the command prompt to reset her IP configuration.well its been about 2hrs since and now her computer is not getting past the Windows Starting screen. Did somthing go wrong with the re configuration?
I have wifi connection of one service provider and Lan Connection of another service provider... Can i use both connection simultaneously on my laptop? having window 7. They both have automatic configuration of IPs
I am trying to set up a workgroup between two Windows 7 Pro computers over a wifi connection. I have set the workgroup name to be identical on both machines (Lastname-Home), but neither machine can see the other. Network discovery and sharing are turned on. From my googleing and forum searching (here and on other forums) all I can find is people saying that if the workgroup names match you should be able to see the PCs.
I've tried to set up a Wi-Fi connection to use for Nintendo DS/3DS, but nothing seems to work. I don't have a wireless internet connection, so I bought the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, but that does not work with Windows 7... I've also tried another Wi-Fi USB device, but that doesn't seem to work either. I guess I should get a wireless router that allows Wi-Fi connection, but which would actually work for Nintendo DS/3DS?
i'm getting annoyed with my sister because she uses too much bandwidth on her laptop than i can get, he uses facebook, twitter, Internet, and utorrent at the same time and i'm only using Internet, visiting forums and playing games. how do i slow down the wifi speed so i can make her internet usage more pain in the ass?
i have a wifi connection without any protection. now these days i cannot work on it. it tells me that,there is not any access on internet. earlier i could work on it. but the line is always without any protection.
I just upgraded to the beta version of Windows 7 form Vista. I am now (unable) to print off of our local network via wi-fi. I am fairly computer literate, I have tried everything. The internet works fine with my Belkin N+ router...but I cannot print via wi-fi thru my hard lined computer, the one with (Windows 7). Can anyone please help? All 3 of my wi-fi computers have Windows XP on them.
I connect to my home wifi and it says connected, but there is no internet connection.I noticed that network adapter shows "wireless network connection 2" with that "2" at the end of name. I guess there is a problem. If I rename it to just "wireless network connection" it says it already exists. But cannot see it, and use it! Can anyone tell me how to reset it or somehow switch to "wireless network connection" without "2"?
Also when I type ipconfig/all I get this:
------------------ C:Usersuser>ipconfig/all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : user-PC
On my new Lenovo V570, I've been having an issue where it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to connect to my local network.It will show all the available networks in the list, and either if I wait, or if I try to click my automatic network and click "connect", it still takes a large chunk of time.This happens on all of my saved connections, as well as any public connections I try to access.I believe my wireless is run through Intel My Wi-fi, though for some reason the icon is no longer in my icon tray.
On these occasions, while watching Hulu on my HTPC, which only connects via WiFi on my Router (Cisco E3000), the movies were interrupted by a loss of connection, indicated by the white tray icon turning orange, and when expanding it's menu, the connection bearing the name of my network had disappeared.On the first failure, the flashing light on the network adapter (Belkin F5D8055) continued flashing as usual, but the steady light was out, until pressing the connection button. The second time around, both light remained lit as normal, but in both instances my network connection on the network adapter's tray icon had disappeared. Using the WiFi's network adapter's connection button, and the router's PBC button didn't solve the problem, nor anything else that I tried.Since the WiFI connection is primarily for internet access, rather than connecting computers, and that shutting off my desktop doesn't usually effect the HTPC's internet connection, it seems obvious that the connection is managed by just the router, adapter and HTPC, so I fail to understand the relationship between the vanishing network and the loss of internet connection.When these failures occurred, they only lasted for ~ 10-15 minutes, and then were restored on their own, with no more apparent reason than the outage had. So far, this is only an annoyance, but I fear that it is an omen of greater problems on the horizon, and I have no idea of how to isolate the origin of the problem..
I connect with a broadband dongle. Sometimes it's disconnecting me after a couple of minutes - other times I'm OK for a couple of hours. No problem getting back on-line - only takes a minute, but it's damned annoying.I contacted the ISP (Indian call centre) and they were of no help. Said they could see the frequent disconnections but that there was no breaks in their service.
I am using HCL ME 74 series laptop with win 7 OS 32 bit. recently my OS crashed and I reinstalled the OS. surprisingly there are no netwrok controllers in my device anager. the network adpters give by HCL have been used. But the system is detecting the wifi networks all around but not connecting. The HCL ME series gives some funny buttons to press: set wifi enable -> Fn+F11, and bluetooth -> fn+F12 . both are enables.
My computer is connected using wifi to my access point. It connects fine,automatically at startup. But I would like to duplicate the network connection to be able to connect sometimes to the same access point with same parameters BUT the gateway.s this possible to duplicate the connections in order to be able to connect automatically at startup with gateway 192.168.0.1 and sometimes to connect to my access point with gateway 192.168.0.10 ?Ideally, I would like to duplicate my wifi profile in Control Panel > Network and Internet > Manage Wireless Networks but here I cannot change the route settings of one profile without changing it for all profiles.Is there a solution
I know this is far less related to Windows 7 issues (completely unrelated :P), and more related to hardware and such, but anyway. I am on an absolutely pathetic internet connection of 20gb a month (Internet in New Zealand was monopolised by Telecom, and the industry went nowhere for years, our speeds are stupid and the prices would be considered unacceptable in many countries). Me and a friend do a lot of data sharing, and he also hosts a minecraft server, which uses a lot of internet. Luckily for me, he moved in 4 houses down from me. Our solution was going to be for me to connect to his wifi connection from my house, and just to be safe, from his end I would be restricted to his Lan network, but not internet data :P.However after fruitless attempts to make a home made yagi antenna from everything from a fly cover for a large dish to a kitchen wok, nothing worked and we ran short of ideas. Does anyone know of a cheap way we could accomplish this? We could buy a yagi antenna (for those of you that don't know thats like long range wifi antenna
For some reason my laptop will not remain connected to my wifi. The other computers on the network are running just fine. The laptop in question is one I recently received from a friend who had no problems like this. I have been browsing various forums for quite some time, and have been unable to fix the problem. Running Windows 7 on an ASUS machine, the router is a Linksys RangePlus.
Since I installed Windows 7 on my PC I have this issue. I use a WiFi USB key (D-Link DWL-G132 A3) to connect my computer to internet.
With Windows XP all were working good, but now with Windows 7 after 30/60/xxxx minutes I'm connected i get "limited access - no internet connection". Windows recognized a DNS error, but it was unable to slove it. I'm solving this problem unplugging the WiFi key for 1 minute, and then re-plugging it. Doing this, the connection returns fine for another 30/60/90/xxxx minutes.
(I'm actually trying the connection with IPv6 disabled and using only IPv4)
I have ADSL connection, i use WiFi enable adsl router (ZTE ZXV10 W300) for share that connection internet connection with my home other devices. My ADSL internet connection not disconnect but my WiFi connection drop most of the time.
But I encounter a problem while connecting to the host (My desktop)
It's like, you can't connect after you reset your connection or something, and it says "No Internet Access", and you can only connect just when your PC were freshly restart. IF you hand slipped and clicked the disconnect, you cannot connect just after you restart the PC again.
i am using a USB modem for networking, but i want to connect my cell to the internet using this modem via WiFi. How can i setup up a WiFi connection in my house using this USB modem?
Once i was trying to connect to the wifi connection and i did it but it prompt me to put the security password so i was rather confused not knowing how to get and from whom or from where
I have both of these things and my recent internet still come up on my laptop, how can i connect or use my router to get wifi, need this for work asap.
