Please help before I cry

Type http://192.168.0.1/ into the address bar of your browser then click go. That should let you see what the security settings are on the router. Make sure that the settings and passkey are the same as you have set up on the laptop.

EDIT: Sorry, bum steer - for Netgear, that should be http://192.168.1.1/

That second link won't work for me.

I think I'm gonna just try and find out how to delete all the settings and start again tomorrow. It's too technical for me.

Did the first one work then?

Not as you said. Asks me for username and password. Then it's full of technical stuff. :undecided

You will need to check that technical stuff, but it;s not as scary as it looks.

Sounds like you have a manual IP on your wireless card
Follow From Step 5 down And at step 10, make sure both IP and DNS are ticked to obtain automatically. And at step 8 make sure you select the wireless card.

Also Ifs its a netgear you should be able to access the system using routerlogin.net

This is what it sounds like to me too, the router appears to be giving addresses via DHCP hence the ethernet connection working. Unless by chance the ethernet is manually configured with a valid IP/gateway/DNS address.

Ok, did those and come step 10, they were both checked on obtain automatically already. :undecided

I seem to have fixed it. :rotfl:

Changed the 'mode' from 150mbps (or something) to g&b!!!!

Haven't tried turning the router off yet coz I'm scared but rebooting the laptop reconnects.

Thanks for everyones help and if someone can tell me that setting is ok, that would be great. :beer:

Alright scouse.

Basically you've set the speed to a lower setting. Won't make any difference if the wireless devices you have are not 'Wifi N', but its not ideal, really you want to keep it at the higher setting.

What are the other options you have in that drop down? Is there N/G/B?

Not seen you on GIOL for a while either!
