Wifi help

I had something similar with a laptop, it could not see my network at all but my laptop could...

At the time I had my wireless channel set to 13...... I changed it to 1 and it worked.... so I went up the channels untill it could not find the network, it stopped working on 13 only... I dont know why.

Check/change the channels, that might help. :confused:
 
Right getting somewhere now, the cahnnel worked, its now found, but when trying to connect, it says :-

'the settings saved on this laptop do not match the requirements of the network'

Does that mean, where the connection is set up manually (where you put the details in on the above screenshot), that some of those details are wrong

Thanks :)

so even though its saying the settings saved on this laptop do not match the requirements of the network, it should still connect after a short time.
 
Yes...... If it does not, I would suggest that you delete the connection from the laptop and start again using the wizard.
 
Open the control panel
Open the Network and Sharing Center
Left hand side, click on Manage Wireless Networks
Click on Add, it should be the top left
Then click on Add Network that is in range of this computer.

Select the wireless network and then follow the wizard.
 
Cheers ill give it a go, its bit hard trying to do this over MSN, as ive got to tell her what to do from here. :p

Btw, how do i delete the network so i can start again.
 
Well cheers for the help, its now connected :D, after she got the profiles deleted, i told her where to go as you said, the Network and Sharing Centre, Manage Wireless Networks, and in there she said was her Network and saying security Enabled or something, so she tried connecting that, and that one worked, so thanks again, and also thanks again to the others that helped. :)
