Hello,
I have recently moved and at the previous location I was connected to the internet with the TelstraClear cable package but the new area I'm in isn't in the cable area. So I have had to switch back to broadband via the telephone cable. In my old house the cable modem connected to a Linksys wireless router which was then connected to a PC via a cable and two laptops and a ipod touch wirelessly. I wouldn't say that set up was without problems but it did work.
Now at the new place I'm using a Netgear wirless modem/router and I am having nothing but problems. A PC running XP connected via a cable works fine and so does one of the laptops (running XP). However the other laptop (running Win7) and the ipod touch (generation 2) can see the network but everytime I enter the key it says that it is unable to connect.
I have tried resetting the router, updated the firmware on the router, changed the name of the network, changed the key, changed the security method (currently using WPA), changed the frequency; and I am at a complete loss as to what to try now.
- Router: Netgear Wireless Modem/Router DG834G v3
These wont connect:
- Laptop: Compaq Presario CQ61 Notebook PC, Windows 7 Home Premium, Dual Core, 2GB RAM
- iPod: iPod Touch 2G
This will connect:
- Laptop: Acer Aspire 5635WLMi, Windows XP MCE SP3, Dual Core, 4GB RAM
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Andrew
