Wireless problem

sanderse · 8 Aug 2013 at 20:02

I have an asus pce n15 wireless adapter installed in my PC.

I have a virgin superhub router.

My wireless adapter can detect every other network in my area but not my superhub.

Ive tried changing channels of the router and factory reseting it.

Ive also tried reinstalling windows and all drivers including the latest ones.

Im using windows XP home and have an asus mobo.

What can i do to fix this problem?

Thanks

You've obviously covered most obvious possibilities in your previous post. There's no sensible reason why you should be seeing this behaviour, so you're into clutching at straws territory.

The specifications state that it's supported by 'Linux Kernel 2.6 (Support Ubuntu only)'. You could try a booting from an Ubuntu image and see if that can see the router. It would at least remove Windows from the equation.

You could also probably get hold of a trial version of a more recent version of Windows and see if that works.

Are you still with the return period for DSR, or OcUK's 'satisfaction guarantee'. If you are I'd cut my losses and try a different adapter. There’s also the option of just using Powerline adapters instead.

I think it's down to the TKIP / AES Encryption. Try changing that on the router and see if you can connect.

I would do a factory reset of the router.

Sorry to ask the obvious, but you have switched wireless on at the router and made sure it's broadcasting the SSID... right?
