router problem?
Posted by shineything on November 15th, 2003


I've been using a wireless broadband router for about 3 months, but for the
last few weeks, the other PC's on the network have been refusing to connect
(a desktop machine running windows xp and a laptop running 98se). I've been
though all the settings i can find on the router, modem, and recievers, but
can't get them to reconnect.

Both PCs can detect the router, get all the IDs, security codes etc from it,
but don't connect. just keep scanning.

Having used 2 different recievers on both the desktop and laptops, I'm
assuming it's a fault with the router, possibly its reciever?

Does anyone know of any diagnostic programs i coul run, or have any
suggestions as to what else i can try?

Router: model number GL2422RT-0T0 residential gateway -

Reciever: hmm, can't find a model number on it, but it's this -

Thank's in advance,

Try connecting the computers to the router by wire and make sure that
that is working.

Good luck

But what about the ones with the problem? Can you hard wire these,
even just temporarily?

The object is to halve the problem. If they work okay when hard wired
then the problem is with the wireless hardware. If they do not work
when hard wired then the problem is with the networking configuration.

Good luck
