Hi there!
I got a laptop and was very happy with it and using alot of my Wireless internet, when I thought about security I tried to put a password on but it didn't work. Now I have lost my connection and can't pick up a signal for it on my Laptop but can on my iPods'.
May someone please help me with this. It would be very much appreciated.
Yours sincerly,
Nick.

Hi Nick, welcome to Geekzon, you say you have implemented security, so I assume you turned on WEP or preferably WPA security "on" on the Wireless side of things. You also say the ipods connect but the PC does not, so I presume the ipods were asked to input the security key when connecting to the internet, did the PC not get asked the same, you may need to go into wireless setting of you network connections on you PC and look for new connections.

You should still be able to connect to the router via a wired connection and go back into the wireless security setup and change it so you can get the wireless connection back again.

I am afraid without more detail as to what you did its not easily possible to offer much more help at this point.

K, thanks well the problem is there is no security. When I tried it didn't work so I just stopped but I did change some other setting like range or something after that, but then also changed that back to the default setting and yes I can get on the internet via wired on my PC but just not wireless what I really want on my Laptop. Also when I do connect to 10.1.1.1 it does not have the wireless settings only on my iPod it has the wireless settings. Please tell me what I can do to fix this.
Edit: Actualy I went to 'save and reboot' and after that is when my internet stopped working.

Hi, you should not have changed any settings other than the security. If you cannot connect via wireless then you have no choice but to connect via wired to get access to the setup web server in the router and return its settings to what was originally there.

By the way a 502 does not have a WiFi AP built in, so its not relavent anyway. Are you sure its not a 604T

I presume you mean SSID, so it implies that the internet (WAN/ADSL) connection is down, so how are you currently accessing the net.

Assuming your on XP, go into Start, Run, CMD, then type ipconfig and paste what it says.

Hi, there the problem htey have the same address, on your laptop do a repair connection to force it to renew its DHCP lease, or if just do a full restart will do the same thing.
