wireless router?
i recently setup my wireless router to the main computer. the internet works fine on this but the problem is that the router is not sending a wireless signal around the house so my laptop cannot get the internet. it is a new router from aol broadband(netgear) can anyone tell me why it is not sending the signal(wireless light not showing on router)?
Login to the router control panel (I guess you’ll have to plug your laptop in with an ethernet cable for now) by opening your internet browser and typing 192.168.0.1 into the address bar and hitting enter. It’ll ask you for a login. The default login should be found in the manual (usually admin/password, or [blank]/admin, or similar – here’s a big list of default router passwords: http://dopeman.org/default_passwords.html).
Depending on the exact model of wireless router, the control panel should have a “Wireless” section where you should be able to enable the wireless capability. If the wireless is already enabled, make sure that the router is not hiding the SSID (the ‘name’ of the wireless network). But since the wireless light on the router isn’t lit, the wireless is probably disabled rather than hidden. Once you’ve changed the settings so the wireless is activated, save your settings and try to re-connect via wireless.
If it still isn’t working, contact Netgear via their technical support line, and if you’re still having no joy, get in touch with the store that sold you the router, who may be able to offer you a replacement if it’s faulty.
Once you’ve managed to get connected, it’s always a good idea to set up a password so your wireless network is secure – WPA encryption is much stronger than WEP.
