Problems with router ..?
Ok, I have a desktop and a laptop in my apartment … Desktop is working fine .. Laptop left yet working last night, it has a built in wireless card and turned "on" And the lights of my router is as if it is working well .. When I go to "connect to a network," says there is no network availability and contact your ISP. Comcast says I'm connected and Geek Squad charges $ 150 for service calls .. nobody has ever heard of such a thing? (With the router, that is).
Since you have both a desktop and laptop, I'm assuming your laptop is wireless and the desktop is connected to the router. And I'm going to assume you know your router and modem are two separate boxes and that both are necessary for this to work (you'd be surprised what people do not know:). If you do not have two separate boxes, they were stealing bandwidth from a neighbor before (yes, it is criminal to theft actually), and the need to buy a router and connect. Now that the disclaimers and legal stuff is out of the way from your desktop is offline, we know that the router switch, DHCP server, DHCP client and routing processor are all working. However, this still leaves multiple perpetrators. The first step is to confirm the router is in good working order by use of a wireless device known working to try to connect to the network. If it works, the router is fine. If this fails, * may * need a new router. The big caveat is * can * – Could be a bad router, but could also be caused by interference neighbor network, a 2.4 GHz phone or similar. Now, you're in an apartment, you should normally be able to see the network at least one other person in almost all apartments. So I think that the router works The second step is to confirm the basic functionality of your laptop. Take it to a local library and try to use their connection Wi-Fi. If it does not work there, the problem is definitely inyour computer. If under warranty, try to squeeze as much support that, as you can. Unless so, keep reading … Assuming that your laptop, you must first uninstall the Wi-Fi (not physically, just the drivers) and re-install it manual. Then, using a flash drive or physical cable, install the latest driver for your Wi-Fi manufacturer. If still not working, you have a physical problem (Broken or disconnected from the antenna, bad radio) or a deeper problem of the operating system. If after following these steps, you still have a problem, or if confused or lost .. you should probably bite the bullet and pay the $ 159 to your network is a professional troubleshooter.
