Asus WL500G Premium Wireless Problem

tgi500 · 02-19-2009, 11:46 PM

Hi All,
I have set up my Asus WL500G Router (+Speedstream 4200 ADSL modem)and can happily connect to the internet when using a Cat5 cable connected to port on router.
However, when I try to connect using wireless, I can connect to the router but cannot get on the 'net.
My wireless signal is very strong - what am I doing wrong? I have setup the router as a Home Gateway and have no wireless security setup just in case this was part of the problem. I have also turned the router firewall off, but no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated cos I've spent over 12 hours total trying to get this mongrel to pass traffic in wireless mode!!!!!
Thanks in anticipation,
Justin.

Normally if you can see the network(as in your case) but cannot surf, it means that your log on or your wep/wap is incorrect.
