Wireless problem

Ubiquitous · Post by **Ubiquitous** » 2006-08-09 04:41pm

I have just upgraded to broadband. My ethernet connection works great, however I have been unable to setup my wireless connection to my main laptop or my parents one. I am using a BT Home Hub with Voyager 1055 USB wireless devices to try and allow the laptops to use wireless. Both laptops recognise the hardware and the software is able to detect the wireless network, however it always says that there is 'limited or no connectivity' for the wireless connection and refuses to work. I have tried the latest drivers and the BT help system to no avail, and google just seems to want to sell me more Home Hubs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you still get this problem even if the laptop is right next to the wireless access point?

And, being that this is wireless and therefore the devil's magic, have you kept up-to-date with your sacrifice of virginal Teutonic princesses? (Try to stay away from the ones with blood type A-negative.)

check the letter on your router and each of the wireless cards that you are using. They could be using a different version of wireless, I have seen this problem with my own setting. I have a 802.11b Wireless router, a friend of mine just got a new laptop that won't connect to it because his internal wireless card is 802.11G and does not do backward connections for some reason.

NM, incredibly the thing worked after five minutes of effort this afternoon, after I spent three hours with no result on it last night.

Try moving the access point closer to the receiver. I have problems with my WLAN, but moving my box a few inches and turning it towards the router does the trick most of the time.

It also helps to buy a bigger, stronger antenna. They are quite cheap and worked for me.
