So I bought a new dell laptop, and have been trying to hook it up wirelessly all night. I can not get it to hook up with my linksys router (WRT54G). I am currently on my old laptop with a linksys card that I have used for a year. The dell laptop came with an internal card (Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN (802.11a/g,54Mbps) Mini Card for Latitude). It doesnt connect up with my wireless network even after I manually set up my wireless network because my SSID is not broadcasted. So I then tried my good ol linksys card, and it did not work either. So I know my problem isnt the dell card, but any ideas? Its using a wep key as encryption also. Any other questions just ask, Ill take all of the help I can get with this one. |
I asked a question on here about the WRT54G and not being able to connect to my wireless laptop about two weeks ago. I called the Linksys helpline and spoke to a very helpful woman. Their number is on the packet the installation CD came in. I had to download some stuff, and then clear out my network connections and then reconnect and everything turned out fine. |
