I have enabled my wireless ap, but the things i am trying are just not allowing my computer to detect the router, just keep getting 'no wireless networks in range' or something similar. What can i do to make it detect it?

Cheers.

disable DHCP service on the access point
assign a unique, static IP address to the access point that falls within the router's allowed address range
Select AP mode

Set the Channel and SSID

Channel is 11.
Can i check my computer is on 11 aswell or should it scan all channels?

I would be doing this is 'Lan Configuration' 'WLAN Interface', that sound right?

IP address is going have nothing to do with this at the moment - It's not even associating with the AP at this point

Have you tried downloading and installing the latest drivers for your wireless card?

Your SSID - is it just one word? no spaces / funny characters / stupidly long?

What AP and wireless network card are you using out of interest?

You don't need to tell you're machine what channel either.

No just a basic word, all drivers up to date, its a toshiba L10-300 laptop, the wireless card is a 'INPROCOMM IPN2220 WIRELESS LAN CARD' standard in the laptop and i'm trying to connect to a 'DYNAMODE R-ASDL-C4WG USB REMOTE NDIS DEVICE', those are the names from device manager.

we have to make sure that you can connect to the lan ports on that router and access the net that way, another thing that router is good has lot of function but the signal is weak.

Just tried it and got 'limited or no connectivity'.

I can i had it working this morning but i lost the settings when i reset everything, it does work, all i need for the tcp/ip settings is the top ip address bu i don't know what to put in.
 
It did work wired this morning with static (?) addresses in the tcp/ip settings, i just can't remember what they were, with assigning them automatically, that is when i get 'limited....'.

What is the ip address i need anyone? Or how do i find it?

That router has different firmware and different gui, the best way is to use the cd to set up his isp passwords and getting everything working its faster that way, then he can just connected it via a lan port, that router can become very complicated because it has so many functions ie you can have 3 different subnets on that router for 1 on each port but that also depends on the firmware he has.

Ok, so i am going to reset the router, remove my network cards in device manager, that way everything is reset right?

Back in the real world, there's no need for a CD to at least get the wired and wireless LAN working, especially given you've no idea what else its changing...



So keep away from the VLAN options?



You don't need to remove the network cards, but yes, reset the router and set the network card to get its settings automatically.

Any ideas what is going to happen, reason is, i'm going to loose my internet connection and then i won't be able to ask for help for a bit.
 
Did what you guys said, i plug it in the lan port, and all that comes up is 'limited or... ', try the lan address and i get, 'Could not open the search page'.

:S
