I have just done my quarterly full system wipe on my laptop,and have lost my little sticker with the router details on.Is there any way of finding out what wpa key is by going into the 192.168------ router set up number?
In a few days time I will be changing my ISP in the UK from Sky to BT.
BT are providing me with their newest wireless router free of charge as part of the deal and I'll be using that to set up my wireless network, which will consist of an HP Pavilion desktop, a Toshiba laptop, a Sony Vaio laptop, an HP wireless printer and a Samsung HDTV.
This means my Sky wireless router is surplus to requirements, so I was wondering if I could convert it to a wireless access point to improve the range of my BT wireless network.
I've read a couple of supposedly easy-to-understand articles on Google and have to say they left me more confused than ever.
Is there a way to setup your computer to connect only to a specific wireless router in your area? I live in a college dorm and there are a lot of wireless connects available so I'm thinking that there might be complications with my computer with all the information in the air.
I've been having a problem for a while now with my wireless adapter. I know it's not the router because all of my roommates are able to use it fine and I usually can't see the connections at school or any public place.
The problem is that most of the time there will be no networks to connect to according to my computer (connection symbol has an x on it), even though there is. I have upgraded from Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) to Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit). When I first (clean) installed windows 7 it worked fine for 2-3 weeks but now it rarely can find networks and when it does it may only be for 2 minutes.
I've tried reinstalling windows 7 and it works for a few hours and then goes back to not working properly. I've tried reinstalling the drivers not no success and I've tried upgrading to Intel's specific windows 7 64-bit drivers to no improvements. I've called Dell and their limited technical support couldn't help me.
My Wireless adapter is an:

I was wondering to myself in Wal-Mart if I should get myself one of those USB routers for my Nintendo DSi, PSP and laptop computer. I mean I would love to have one so i can use the browsers in them and for updating/online gaming. but at the same time I think that since I have dial up it would be a waste of money to buy something that SHOULD be used on a cable/satellite connection. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the matter, cause I can't come up with an answer myself.
I just completed a new windows 7 64 build and would like to purchase a wireless adapter for my "dream machine." My router is a buffalo WHR-G54S "g" router. I do not have any "n" wireless in my home yet. Any suggestions for something that has proven to be stable and trouble free with windows 7 x64?
I recently built my own gaming pc, spec'd as follows:
Asus Rampage IV Formula Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit I73930k GTX 680 120gb ssd etc.
I have installed Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit with no real problems. Except the internet connection! I have Sky Broadband which has a Sky router. I can connect my laptop wirelessly so i know it works ok. The only way my 'new' desktop will connect to the Sky router is by using an Ethernet cable. It simply cannot connect to it wirelessly.
My Comcast router is wireless and I would like to use my old Netgear router to receiver the signal so that I can use two computers in my basement that do not have wireless cards. Can the router be setup to receive the signal and distribute it even though it was designed to do the opposite?
I've just bought a new wireless router as we were having trouble with our old one cutting out etc, the only problem is with the new wireless router it keeps saying DNS isn't responding and there is no interent access but the wireless connects to the computers, but then if we plug our old one back in it connects straight away
I have a new pc by HP,using windows 7.I do not have a wireless router, I have a modem from my ISP. Hughesnet.com, address is 192.168.0.1.Why do I keep getting messages about a wireless router. I m just trying to connect to HughesNet.What should I do?
use my laptop just fine down a 40 foot hall way and through a kitchen and 2 more rooms wirelessly(admitedly with a mediocre connection).
About 2 days ago it was giving me sporatic messages after a restart claiming my network settings did not match the ones saved on my laptop. The only change that was made was adding all but one roomates devices to an access list on the router (since the jerk wouldnt shut off bit torrent while people were working). Some other people were noticing some screwy occurances too but dont recall the symtoms so I just set it back to factory default and removed the access list. Everyone else seemed to be fine
Yesterday I cannot see the router on my laptop, I cannot see my neighbors (sporaticly I usually would see 1 bar pop up but now I can't find it at all) I can pick up my router wirelessly only when I have direct line of sight to the router and only 4/5 bars 0,o , so that rules out a lot of choices in its self since it sees it, just not very well.

I have a BT HH downstairs but all my computer bits are upstairs, 99% of the time I use the laptop and it's wireless connection. I also hook the Xbox 360 up into the laptop with a cable and use the bridge feature so I can get online with the 360 (and avoid having to buy the extra hardware). However, I also have a 2nd computer up here, it doesn't have a wireless card in there but I'm all for re-using old parts if I can make use of it. I have a 2nd router here, a wireless netgear one that came with my old Virgin set up. I was just thinking is it possible to hook the PC into the netgear, then the netgear into the laptop and use it's wireless connection like I do with the 360 ? Or could the netgear connect directly to the BT HH via it's own wireless magic ?
How to use an iMac as a wirless router with WPA2? I would like to share my broadband Internet connection that is provided by RJ-45 wired connection to my iMac. I have a Windows 7 laptop that I would like to use and have it connect to my iMac wirelessly. I have figured out how to share the iMac's airport connection but unfortunately the Mac OS X 10 software only supports WEP.
I need to switch from a wired network to a wireless network. Santa is bringing a new laptop. I guess the best way is to change routers. Not sure what to go with.I currently have 2 desktops, PS3 and a TV on the wired network. Ive looked at and read the reviews on a Linksys-Newegg.com - LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server and an Asus-Newegg.com - ASUS RT-N16 Wireless Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps DD-WRT Open Source support with USB Storage, Printer And Media Server.For the most part the reviews are good but there a bunch of bad ones. Just wondering if any one brand is considered more reliable than the others. I don't know anything about open source firmware. Its mentioned quite a bit in the reviews.
Got a new Asus laptop. Tried to connect to wireless router, but I always get no network access and an unidentified network. Some data points: I have a D-Link DIR-625. This could be the problem since it is from 2007, but technically it is compatible with Windows 7. All other devices (Windows XP laptops, smartphones, etc.) connect with no problem to the wireless router. The LAN on the new laptop connects fine to the router when I plug it in. Only the wireless does not work. I have read online forums for 4 hours trying to figure things out but haven't had luck. I think I've tried everything. I have attached the ipconfig /all below. Oh, and my computer does not have Bonjour installed, which apparently has caused this issue for others.

Windows Home Premium 64. my wireless connection drops about twice a day.Sometimes, it takes the wireless router with it.I have a bunch of stuff on the wireless network, but it seems my laptop is the only one causing a problem.My primary card is a intel n-1030, but I've also tried a wireless usb adapter and have the same issue.I have even tried a different router.updated drivers,flused the DNS.
So my friend just came over to my house today to use his fancy totally brand new MSI GE60 that he got from Newegg. This was the first time he was using his brand new laptop with a wireless network, and I need to specify that nobody else who has ever visited my house before has had problems with my Wireless network, including this very same friend, back when he was using his old laptop.So we tried re-entering the caps-sensitive 15-character-long password several times and we still managed to get the same problems--the computer constantly switches every 2-3 seconds between being disconnected, having limited access, and being connected to the router but still being unable to access the internet.
His installation of Windows came with a program made by Intel, the guys who make his wireless card, that allowed him to run diagnostics, and it claimed that his ipv6 was not receiving an IP address from my router. We've tried disabling and re-enabling his wireless adapter several times and we've tried restarting my house's router twice...everyone else in my house can connect totally fine, but he is still having these strange issues.So I downloaded Connectify and set up a network on my laptop and had him connect to it--and it worked just fine.Everything is set to DHCP and we even went through each and every single settings panel of all of MY laptop's wireless stuff and just copied it down onto his computer--it's just not working. We tried rolling back the drivers and disabling all of his firewalls/security applications, and it didn't work.
