KillJoy Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 What encryption is being used? Some older WNICs cannot detect WPA Networks. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 my bet is more on, the wireless access point is wireless N and your wireless card can only pick up G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Standard WEP encryption with a broadcasting SSID and his card won't pickup the signal, it has to be manually added. Wireless G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try again or go into the router change the password and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime we entered the password wrong it wouldn't let us be connected. But once we did get the correct password it connected but keeps saying aquiring yada yada... so I don't think its the wrong password. Dam this is frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I am assuming this is your wireless equipment you are connecting to. Do you have enough IP addresses to hand out? I have mine to only allow 10 devices to connect. If yo know the IP address range you are supposed to be getting, you can manually add a known address from the high end of the range so you can test everything and troubleshoot the DHCP later. They do mane this stuff for dumb people, its called Apple. If you refuse to buy apple products because they are more expensive, you have to know what you are doing to make them work - -true story.

jeffro Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Have Katie go into the router settings and only transmit wireless through B/G, then reconnect. wireless B is old technology. This could be your problem paul. Is your card a wireless B only card? is it old? you cannot connect a wireless B card to wireless G. You can however switch your router to wireless B so your card will pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
