I cant connect wirelessly .

[SecondSight]

Hello, I have bought a Safecom SWCBR-5400 and i have bought a Belkin 802.11g-54 Mbps adapter so i can put my Pc downstairs and have internet access But it seems I cant connect it says i have exellent siginal and it says limited or no connectivity. Can please help me. I think i may have to reconfigure my settings in my router.

Have you disabled all encryption and MAC filtering to see if you can connect that way?

[SecondSight]

Yes i have disabled all of that and it still wont let me connect

It doesnt say limited or no connectivity any more and it says im connected to the internet but i still can not get a webpage up. and i think the internet acces is just temporary as it came on and a few seconds later it turned off. please help.

Thanks

I don't see any evidence of a wireless network at all in that IPCONFIG


Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc

Please respond to all the following steps.

1. Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed.
2. Are there any devices under Network adapters that have a red x displayed?
3. Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?

Okay. here is how it is, i can use my wireless internet to get on some pages and it works fine at a good speed but when i try to get on some other websites like maplins or dabs.com it wouldnt allow me and on the wireless adapter status it would say im connected to the internet and as soon as i click maplins.com it says im not connected any more. is this something to do with my DNS settings not allowing me to access some pages? Also here is my ipconfig /all

I have got a picture here of what it displays on my screen.

That image doesn't load for me. Please post it directly to the forum.

better?

[johnwill]

I can't even imagine why the specific site you connect to would affect the wireless connectivity! That makes little sense to me!

[SecondSight]

it isnt just that site it happens to loads of other sites to???


Please help.

[SecondSight]

Today i tried to get onto maplins.com but it still isn't working so I tried a Network Diagnostics on internet explore and it gave me this message.

Some things you can try here.

1. For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
2. For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
3. Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
4. Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.
