I have 3 computers running Windows and 1 running XP Pro.ISP is Charter. All these were connecting fine until Tuesday night storm came through. Power was out for a while due to a power pole being knocked down. Cable was on this same pole I think. Next day none of my computers could connect wireless.Used Ethernet cable direct to modem and finally got connection. To make a long story shorter, I find that now I can only connect unsecured or WEP. Can't connect using WPA2 at all.I wonder if it is possible that the ISP has blocked something to limit the speed?
WEP is only 54 MHZ
WPA2 is upto 300MHZ
Tried 2 different Netgear routers with same results Currently configured for WEP shared

I'm trying to connect an old HP desktop I have (running windows XP) to my home network, which uses WPA2 encryption. I'm pretty much a network noob so I have no idea what's going wrong. Right now it's stuck on "validating identity" when I try to connect to the network.
So far in my quest to solve this problem, I have:
1. Downloaded Service Pack 3.
2. Tried disabiling Authentication for the network.
From reading around forums I've learned that apparently after downloading Service Pack 3, I should be able to choose 'WPA2' as an option for "Network Authentication" on my Network's properties page. It still isn't showing up for me though.
Since my desktop can't connect to the internet, I couldn't download Service Pack 3 directly so I downloaded it on another computer, put it on a flash drive, and then uploaded it to the desktop. I'm not sure if this could be the problem or not, but if it makes a difference, I can verify on my Computer's properties page that I am running Service Pack 3.
My network adapter is a "Hawking Technologies HWP54G Wireless-G PCI Card". Is it possible that this card does not support WPA2? How do I tell? If it doesn't support WPA2, am I **** out of luck for trying to connect to my network without upgrading the card itself?
Why doesn't "WPA-2" show up as an option for my Network Authentication type?
I have an old computer (xp circa 2005) and I would like to connect to my n router wich is using wpa2. The old computer doesn't seem to have wpa2 as an option, is there anything I can do?
My HP laptop connects to our wnr0003(or whatever it is) router but it says local only. When we took it to best buy, it connected there to the Internet oddly. And even odder, last year we had THE SAME router and it DID in fact, connect to the Internet, using the same router and all. So my question is, how do I fix this?
I'm working with a friend out with his computer, and he can't connect to the internet, but i can.But he uses a different computer system than me and turning on the wireless networking.
I have recently bought a new computer and have been happily connected to my wireless network for three months. The other day the connection was lost and now I cannot connect to my wireless or parents wireless networks. I can connect via the ethernet only. I will attatch an ipconfig for you to have a look at when I am not connected can see my wireless network connections however when I tempt to connect it says windows cannot manage it. I am running windows 7 home premium 64 bit[CODE]
I have a windows 7 computer that was connected wirelessly to my router and internet worked fine. One day i woke up and the internet would not work. The computer is still connected to the router but no internet access.There are other computers on the network that connect fine.I have also tried connecting my computer directly to the modem and still no internet.Running windows diagnositc tells me there is no default gateway available. Ive cycled the modem and router probably a million times and even taking the pc to another house to try on a different router and still no go.
I am having a weird problem with one of my network PC's. I admin a small network which I inherited at work but am a novice when its comes to networking hardware.One of the PC's suddenly stopped connecting to the internet on Fri night, as the cables have all been run through the roof I went through every cable on the D-Link 10/100 ethernet switch and could not get it to connect. Connection wizard showed it was sending packets whenever I tried to ping but recieved 0.
where with my computer where it will connect to my network for a second or two then immediately disconnect. Other computer and devices connect without a problem. I have also experienced this with every network I have tried to connect to; it does the same thing. I figure it is therefore a problem with my laptop itself, but trouble shooting has yielded nothing and most of the fixes I have found require connecting to the network, but obviously I cannot do that.I can connect with an Ethernet cable just fine. My guess would be that there is a setting that is incorrect within the wireless on my computer, but what that is I could not even venture to guess.
We have a Belkin N300 router connected to the internet through a cable modem(Comcast). Up until yesterday it worked fine for all the devices connected. But now whenever my brother's laptop connects(wireless) to the network it makes the router lose connection to the internet so all the devices connected lose connection, too obviously. Everything shows connected to the router, but the router releases it's DHCP whenever he connects. As soon as he turns off his wifi or manually chooses to disconnect... the internet fires right back up within a minute or so. We have no idea what is causing this. We did notice that his laptop was trying to connect with IPV6 while everything else was using IPV4
I woke up and my computer just refused to connect to internet. My roomates computer connects fine to the same modem (we use adsl). I tried switching cables and ports. The night before, my computer had an unexpected shutdown...
My computer connects to the internet but when i try to get it on it pops up webpage cant be displayed.Then when i diagnose the problem it says somethings wrong with my proxy server ive followed the instructions.
We have a fairly new (about two weeks) wirless network set up in our home consisting of a Netgear modem (with wifi, which I have disabled) connected to a Belkin N wireless router. Our ISP is Optus.
My laptop (which is running Windows Vista service Pack 2) was connecting fine since we set it up until about 2 nights ago. Since then, it has had trouble connecting to the network (windows tells me it's taking longer than usual) and when it finally does, I have limited or no connectivity.The internet works fine when the laptop is connected directly to the modem, and if I unplug the wire, it stays connected to the network wirelessly for several minutes before it drops the signal.
At first I thought it was because I was using the laptop at the back of the house (with the modem and router being at the front), perhaps the signal experiencing interference, but no matter where in the house I try to connect, it has problems.I also tried updating the drivers and uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers for the adapter in the laptop, with no luck.
P.S. Xirrus pictures =
1. taken from the back of the house (not connected to the network) where the laptop is used a majority of the time. Although the strength isn't the best, there didn't seem to be any problems in the two weeks prior to this.
2. taken from the same room as the modem and router, connected to the network, but with "limited/no connectivity"

My Dell Dimension is no longer connecting to the internet via the wireless router. I have a dlink DI-524 and a dlink wireless USB key but it no longer connects. This just started today. When I try to repair the connection, it fails on "renewing IP".
OS is Windows XP.
P.S. I have tried power cycling the modem/router but nothing works. Other computers can get on the internet via the wireless router fine.
I have two PC laptops. One operates Windows Vista, the other has XP. I recently just had to do a hard reset on my linksys wpn824v3 router and made a new network name and password. I also changed the password for the router (suspect I may have a virus). My girlfriends computer (vista) sees the new network name and connects fine, my XP computer doesn't even see the new network, but it sees my neighbors networks.. and the laptops are sitting right next to each other.
The modem connects to a D-Link DIR-655 which connects to a computer (Vista) and a switch, the switch then connects to another computer (Win7) and an xbox. the problem is that the vista computer will randomly connect and disconnect from the internet/ network. The vista computer also generally runs very slow on the internet. The Win7 computer runs perfectly and there is never an issue, so I'm wondering if the problem has to do with the vista computer not being connected to the switch? It is not an issue with the router, I have tried two already and the same issue occurs.the vista computer is running with a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R which has a Realtek 8111C LAN chipset.
I have a printer connected to another computer (Win XP) and it wasn't showing up on the network so I followed some installation process to install a network driver or something. Now the printer is working fine. BUT... Now that computer is having internet problems. It connects to the internet fine but some programs say it doesn't. Like Microsoft Outlook. A message always shows up saying "Must work offline" or something. And I cant listen to some things on the internet because a message comes up saying you must connect to the internet.
some computers is connecting to AP that is farthest, But there are two APS closer and the signal gets too low, the computer only connects to the closest AP if I disconnect and reconnect.I have 2 controllers series 2500 model AIR-CT2504-K9.
Have two other computers that connect with ease to the Netgear wireless router, but the new computer will not access the internet. I have been searching for answers and have tried about everything I can find nuder similar posts, but I still have not internet access. At varying times, I have had "internet access", but no actual ability to load websites. Right now, I do not even have access. I am at a loss.Even at my low level of experience, I am usually able to tinker until I fix the problem, but I am about four hours in and currently seem to have taken a step backward. I cannot even begin to explain what things I have already tried
My computer connects to an unscured wifi near my home and i have internet acces for a few minuets, then it just stoppes. Sometimes if i reconnect it will run for a few more minuets 5-10. I have tried two different computers with same results. about a month ago the connection worked fine. This just started recently.I can connent and access internet at other public places with no problem. It seems only this network i have trouble with, why?I am running XP on one, and Win 7 on other, same results.I have read alot of things and tried them all,
-resetting internet options - changing tcp/ip - system restore with no results.
I'm working at a high school which has pretty large grounds. The network is configured via one central router and a lot of access points. Recently, they shut down my access point for a moment after connecting it again. The access point works fine (after finding my problem we've tested a lot of computers and they all connect to it and the internet). My laptop and my desktop - the only computers connected to access point when it was rebooted - do not connect to this access point however!
Instead, they "choose" to connect to an access point farther away, so that my signal strength is extremely low (and hence, my internet connection is very poor).How do I get my computers to connect to the previous access point with the strong signal?
The laptop runs Windows 7 32-bit and the desktop runs Windows 7 64-bit.
there has been issues with this router, and I wonder if any of you have issues connecting to the 5ghz when you wake your pc from sleep longer than an hour. For some reason when I put my computer to sleep at night and wake it up in the morning, my computer will not connect to 5ghz. It will work fine with 2.4, both are set in auto, so I dont see any issues. I did try to put 5ghz to a manual setting; wpa2, 40 mhz, and channel 161. I still get the same results. I am doing something wrong or is the router's 5ghz faulty?Also when is the new firmware coming, I am getting sick of my Harddrive being awake 24/7, its killing the harddrives life span and wasting electricity. I should put this in another post, because they should really change the media server to Wild Media Server or Serviio it would be alot better.
My WPA2-Personal wi-fi connection doesn't find any wired computers to my dsl router. I am having 5 computer in my network, 2 wired 3 wireless. When I switch back to WEP everything is fine tho but then I am loosing the n standard connection. My router is "Linksys Wireless ADSL2+ Gateway".
I have a Gateway connected to my router with wpa2-psk and have internet access. I have on old Dell with an an old d-link card that can't access the router because it won't do wpa2. I'd like to connect it to the other laptop to gain access to the internet because it is inconvenient to plug the old Dell directly into the router.
Trying to get my wife's older laptop to connect to our wireless network. The laptop is a HP pavillion zv5000 running windows XP sp3. The network adapter is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN. The router is a cisco linksys WRT54G2 V1.5. The security on the network is WPA2 using TKIP+AES encryption. I can't get it to connect to the wireless network. If I bump the security down to WEP it will connect just fine.
Not sure if this belongs here on in a different section. We are in the process of purchasing a new ACS 5.x appliance. I would like to take a look at implementing WPA2 Enterprise with our Cisco APs.
Is there anyway to have my wireless network secure on an WPA2? I am sharing with my landlords network. Everytime I try to create a 14 digit password it disables my connection. Does my landlord have to create a password or can I just do it myself?
I have bought B&N Nook color it is an e-reader. And it couldn't connect to my WiFi use the WEP so I changed my wireless setting to WPA/WPA2 now my e machine N-10 will not connect to the network.
I just bought a new samsung laptop and i was not able to connect to my wireless router
--I go into Wireless Network Connection and i am able to see my router along with the other routers in the area --I try to connect it doesnt let me, i change the pw on my router doesnt let me, i remove the pw from the router doesnt let me. --I connect a Ethernet cable to my laptop, im able to connect. --i Go to the samsung website dl all the drivers for the wireless network, cant connect --I use a wirelss adapter that i have for my desktop which works on my desktop, it cant connect --i grab my little brothers cell phone and activate wireless hotspot, i can connect --i switch my router settings from WPA2 Personal to WPA, i can connect --while connect to WPA i switch it back over to WPA2 personal, i get disconnected.
my question now is. why cant i connected to WPA2 personal? Is my connectivity limited on my laptop? can i only connect via WPA or WEP?
--Asus wireless router i connect my tablet,cell phone adapter with my desktop, 2 other phones, another 2 laptops, 2 other tablets and another desktop to it. I never had an issue with any of these items. --Windows 7 on all machine except for Linux on 1 laptop. --Samsung laptop has all the windows updates install and all the drivers for the network and even gpu up to date.
