Re: Please help, Wireless setup problem.
Not a lot of information here to go on, but a couple of things to check:
1) What symptoms are you seeing beyond "I am trying to connect"?
2) Does the laptop "see" the Actiontec wireless signal? i.e. If you open Available networks on the laptop is the Actiontec listed? The default SSID for the network is on a sticker on the Actiontec router.
3) Have you checked the following settings in the Actiontec?
3.1) Login to the Actiontec.
3.2) Select the WIRELESS icon at the top.
3.3) Select BASIC NETWORK SETTINGS. At the bottom of the page is a summary of your wireless settings. As the box explains, these need to be the same on the router and every computer that will connect. This is especially true for encryption level. If the router is set for WEP and the laptop is set for WPA, they won;t connect.
4) What OS are you running? There have been reports of problems with Vista, WPA and the Actiontec router. Refer to this thread: »ActionTec MI424-WR Firmware and WPA issues |
