Wireless network not available?
October 12th, 2013
Friday (allmost a week ago), the wireless network icon disappeared. So, this saturday I re-installed the PCI network card. Then I activated Wireless Zerco Configuration, but then suddenly when I scan for nearby networks I couldn’t find 1… I usually find my network and several others (neighbours).
Today (48 hrs later) the network card found several networks. What was the problem? I tried different methods (system recovery, advanced settings infrastructure/ad hoc,… ). So now I’m asking on Warez-BB. How could I fix this problem? What was the issue? Why?
Any experts with help/hints?
Greetings,
Hook your router up via a cable, log into the admin interface and configure your wireless settings.
First, make sure wireless is enabled, then make sure you have an SSID and the broadcast enabled.
Then, you will want to configure wireless security, use WPA2 with a strong pass key to keep the network secure.
Lastly, double check that your wireless NIC is using the same technology as your router. If you are using N only on your router, and only have a A/B/G NIC, you wont be able to connect.

Hey,
I read this kind of solutions on other forums, but it’s hard to comprehend that my wireless card is working perfectly untill it suddenly doesn’t receive any wireless networks anymore? At least I could have scanned other networks, not?
I’m really baffled by this happening. How, why and when…

Seriously? An N-only router won’t connect with a A/B/G connector? Do you have any articles to backup this claim?
Thanks in advance,

Haha i think you are trolling us mr 3d troll of course an n only router wont connect with a b/g wireless adapter we do not need articles to verify this n is a different frequency altogeher?

Dude, I’m not trolling. I never knew this. So, basically you’re saying an N-receiver is only usefull with an N-source providing an N-signal. Thus an N-source is only usefull with an N-receiver.
> I always thought an N-only-reciever has a bigger range, and it receives any signal older than the N (A, B, G and possible other signals amongst them N draft, etc…).
> I always thought using an A, B, G-receiver could receive an N-signal.
However this is offtopic.

Most routers that are Wireless N capable, also have the wireless A/B/G technology. However, you can disable the broadcast of A/B/G signal’s within the router’s admin interface and restrict to N only. If you restrict the signal to N only and your wireless NIC is A/B/G then you will not be able to connect (now I am just being redundant).

Perhaps you should look up the definition of a troll, because you are trolling. As opposed to verifying that all the information I provided to you was configured properly, you argued the facts.
What you should have done is checked up on all the settings and hardware and verified that everything was set up properly, then we would have continued to help diagnose your problem. But now that we see you trolling, were (at least me) not going to click on your topic anymore =(
Good luck to you sir, and remember, you can find everything you need here:

I’m not a troll, guys. I’ll show you tomorrow or next week what I have found. You’ll be amazed.
