Wirless question

I was resetting my wirless router and since then the Wireless led hasnt been on.

Do i need to run the cd to get the wireless led back on??

:frowning:

Re: Wirless question

login to your router , thru a computer which is directly connected to the router.
open up internet explorer and enter your routers ip address.
most cases user name will be ' admin ' and password will be 'password'
check with your manufacturer to see what the default user name and password are.

once you are logged in, there should be an automatic setup wizard, if not, go to wireless > turn wireless on, make sure u set a wpa or wep security key, write it down or copy and paste into a txt document so you can later use it for your wireless devices.

hope that helps.

Re: Wirless question

You probably have to go into ur router's settings and re-assign a new key if ur connecting wireless.

OR

You might have to refresh/clone the Mac Address (whenever i reset my router, i have to do that).

Post your router make/model....after trying what GenSec suggested....

Good luck...

Re: Wirless question

Okay thanks. I'll try that tomorrow.

So you are saying its okay for the wireless router to not have its wireless led on once its resetted??

Its a netgear router, I had to reset it because I tried to setup static ip address and then couldnt get back into it.

Its a Netgear router WGRsomething.

will post back in 24 hours with an update, I hope it works :(

Gensec how do you set up those keys??

I dont bother with keys, I just assign the Mac address of my Network cards in the router settings so only computers with that mac address can connect to it.

Re: Wirless question

You should performan a hardware reset (either there is a reset button located on your router or you simply plug out the RJ cable and then the power cable)....Wait a min.....It should work then.

:smack: thats what I did and the wireless led went off

Re: Wirless question

Resetting (not power cycling) the router brings all the settings to default. So if you had changed the network settings (default is usually 192.168.0.1 or 1.1) then you would be on a diff settings, so reset your computer's IP address as well, or you won't be able to ping it.

Re: Wirless question

Okay now you are confusing me :(

Yes i reset the router to bring it to default settings.

The computer works fine hardwired into dsl modem

The router seems to have lost its wireless meaning I get the power light, the internet light if i plug dsl into it but no wireless light

Re: Wirless question

Instructions from NetGear. This enables you to use it as an access point CLICK HERE

or here if you have no internet access. CLICK HERE

BTW…YOU router ip is probably 192.168.1.1

Re: Wirless question

aap sab nalaiq hain :chai:

I hardwired the dsl router and my pc to the router to set up the wirless connection from scratch.

Worked like a charm

However the reason why all this happened ind the first place

The stupid wirless keeps on disconnecting Or the speed is Blah.

Im soon going to be upgrading to DSL3 but this wireless router is just going to sit there and refuse to deliver.

Do I set up port forwarding or port trigerring??

I have a 2wire dsl modem

And howwwwwwwww do you set up this key thing??

All my neighbours have keys and mine is the only one that sits in the list saying unsecured wireless network :frowning:

Re: Wirless question

i think me (nalaiq) is going to sit this one out. Got enuff headaches! :p

:rotfl: ASN are you streaming tomorrow ??

Oh shoot I have a lunch date with my girlfriend :frowning:

why :crying:

Re: Wirless question

adrasteia, try changing the wireless channel on your wireless router... i would assume, your neighbors also have it running on same channel which is why it maybe dropping or not connecting.

Of course, it would help if you can post some screenshots or allow access to your pc using one of the online tools and someone can fix the problem and thats where thori jaib dheeli karni parti hai

Re: Wirless question

hai hai hai allow someone to have access to my puter :o

I have khufia stuff on my pc :snooty:

I’ll post screenshots

Re: Wirless question

Well, when that someone does stuff, you can **watch **what they are doing, what they are clicking. You **ALLOW **that and then **disable **it. Khair, screen shots would do if you can follow the instructions afterwards.
