[access-uk] Re: Connecting to a router

Hi Carol
I've given in and gone for an Edimax N gauge router - it's working fine and 
it's much faster.
Regards. Have a good Christmas.

  If you go to your systray, though, and right click the wireless connection 
then you should have an option to let windows manage it for you.

  I do hope you'll manage to sort this soon.

    Hi Carol
    I would too but in this version of the Inspiron broadcom wireless seems to 
be the only one.

      Hi,

      I just abandoned using the Broadcom.

      Please let me know how you get on.

        Thanks Carol
        I shall try your advice when I get back to the laptop. It's a bit 
erratic I know - the Dell laptop can easily find hotspots and work well with 
them - it's when I try to connect to my own network I have the problem - the 
Broadcom program seems to be getting in the way.
        I have a Linksys or a D-link router - I've had it so long that I can't 
remember which. I purchased an N gauge Netgear a while ago and had the most 
dreadful problems with it - when I changed the name andset the encryption my 
remote PCs (the wireless ones) just couldn't see it. I spent hours on the phone 
to Netgear India and eventually was wrongly accused that my blindness was what 
was causing the problem. It certainly wasn't, but with great frustration I gave 
up. Now anyway with this new problem which has emerged I've gone and bought an 
Edimax N gauge router, so I hope this solves the problem. I'll try your 
suggestions first on my existing one though.
        Thanks again for your help.
        Gordon

          Gordon,

          I've had this problem too and have solved it now that I have a new 
router.  (Exactly what went wrong I don't know ...)

          Anyway, before you go out and buy a new router, I think the Broadcom 
thing is not very useable for us.  Check to see what is managing your wireless 
by going into your systray.  If it's Intel PROSet/wireless then you may change 
this by right clicking and select Windows to manage your wireless.  (I was once 
advised not to do this but actually I found that having played about a bit and 
changed over to Windows, then back again to Intel, I've ended up with a stable 
wireless connection.)

          I hope this might help a bit.  Incidentally, what router are you 
using?

          Come back if you think I might be able to help further ... though I'm 
off out now for most of the day ...

            Hi 
            I have 2 Dell Inspiron laptops which recently I've tried to connect 
to my Lynxis router. They connect and even get through using the password key, 
but on the Wireless icon in Network Connections in Control Panel it says I am 
connected with limited or no connectivity. I've removed firewalls and rely on 
the router's firewall. I've gone through the setting and can see nothing 
obvious. The strange thing is that I've got other machines connecting perfectly 
well wirelessly and even my N95 does so without trouble.
            I'm wondering if I should be using the Windows Wireless control or 
perhaps there's another way. Strange that both Dell machines have the same 
problem. They seem to use a Broadcom program.
            Has anyone any ideas?
