i am facing a problem with my wireless connection. i use WRH54G router to connect to internet. i have configured in such a way that i dont need any authorization to connect to my laptop. but when ever i increase the security or enable WEP, i does'nt detect my router to connect. can anyone please suggest any possible solution for the same. also i am thinking to formatting my laptop to get a fresh installation. can anyone suggest me. please.
If it connects without WEP then it should connect "with" WEP...sounds like you need to configure your router to "show" broadcast (I think that's the configuration) WRH54G is a Linksys, right??? I have a Linksys also, but have never bothered with WEP...I'm so far out in the sticks, no one can get close enough to connect, and if they did, they'd give up with my slow satellite connection
I'll look at the settings on mine
Edit: ok, open a browser, typ in 192.168.1.1 (assuming it's a Liknsys) them select the "Wireless" tab...if you have assigned a name to your connection, it should be listed in that box...then at the bottom there are to check boxes... 1 says SSID broadcast ...enable...the other...disable choose "Enable" choose that option...you may have to then go to your "Network Manager" and under wireless, select option to show "All" available networks, I can't remember exactly, and I don't have 1.9 installed anymore...anyway try those things
