View Full Version : Linksys and wireless
Well a few weeks ago i had my computer on wireless in the other room, but then i decided to move back to wired. But the room the modem in is really cold so i want to move my computer into the next room which is much warmer. I did exactly everything what i did last time and heres some pictures of the linksys box.

I got the internet wire plugged into my modem and the internet light flashes on the front on the linksys box and i connect to it it says "Local - Signal Strenth - Excellent" but it doesnt give me the icon with the computer and the world just the computer :(.
Last time i rang linksys they sorted it out but it took 4 HOURS!!! on the phone and ran my bill up like hell :(
Any help on how to fix this?
Thanks
edit: im connecting using this

If its only two computer icons thast means it connected to the network but not the internet, so theres a problem with the internet, not being plugged in properly, moden not on or something :P
My modem is online.

Evidently not or something else is wrong as that means theres no internet connectivity, if you open the Windows Network and sharing thing you'll see you can connect to the network but there'll be an X across the line or the internet or something.
Go on 192.168.2.1 or whatever the linksys gateway is and see if its connect to the internet.
Ok so i press the red x and it said this.

This might go way over your head but unfortunatley I can't explain it better because I've never used Vista;
Do you have DCHP on or off? If it's on, try turning it off and vice versa.
If you aint fixed it you need to find out how to log into the router.
You can then test everything from there and fix the problem.

you need to add your internet connection info on your router.

I can get you a free version on linksys telephone number. They make money by making people wait a long time but i have their freephone number so i didn't pay a penny.
There could be an issue with the wireless security, resetting it and setting it up from scratch again may be quicker and easier than phoning linksys. I used to have an oldish router like that but it ended up getting so frustrating we got a new one and the new linksys starts in a matter of seconds and delivers our actual internet speed rather than 800kbps.
I'm sure at least one of those should help ;)
