Sorry - misread your post - I thought you'd written "porn" instead of "pom" there for a minute!

 

What about the lad in Aberfoyle Park, is that anywhere near you?

If you trust me I can do it remotely.

 

All you need to do is install a program (logmein) and I can set up your network from home. Logmein is secure, you will just need to tell me your username and password etc.

 

I can do it tomorrow morning, let me know.

 

I assume all you want to do is set up a secure wireless network?

[Guest guest569]

it keeps asking about our router ?? We only have the wireless one we just brought. And like you say passwords ??? What passwords ??

[Dawn&Andy]

whats happening? u cant get the wireless router set up? plug the thing in then ur pc should find new hardware, then click to set it up, it should then ask for your wireless router key which should be a number found on the box somewhere that the router came in, put that in and it should work? thats very basic instructions anyway lol as told by my 18 year old when i just asked him, my hubby could prob do it for you no probs as he set ours up, and we are only in seaford but hes on call for work this week and hes out right now, if u still cant do it let me know and i'll ask him when he gets home, might even be able to ring you if you like and run through it with u over the phone?

Thats Read The f***ing Manual!! To you Bob xx

Sorry thats not really helped much has it LOL xx:biglaugh:

[adelaidenow]

PC's don't 'find' a router you browse to it via IP. I stopped reading your post after that - it may have made more sense later on I guess.

[Guest Carolandcraig]

Im just down the way in s/meadows, set up my own network no probs, would be happy to help.

[Guest guest569]

Cheers for your suggestions so far

The new wireless router comes with a CD to install, when I put it on it says it detects a router that it needs to overide and that we must put in a password!!!! Firstly didn't know we already had a router, secondly have no idea of the password. It allows me to go on without it but then gets to the end and says "can't do it - no password!!!!!!! " argh!!!!!!!!!!!

May be phoning one of you soon if I still can't do it

You will need to call your ISP to get your password reset by them.

[adelaidenow]

No you don't.

 

What make is the router? I have most default passwords.

 

As I often say, when it comes to IT help, most info given out on forums is wrong.....

[sparkly cat]

OK here's one for you then

 

Basically my Partner laptop can see the neighbours wireless routers but not our own????????

[adelaidenow]

You are hiding SSID.

[sparkly cat]

Hiding what????

 

All the other laptop can see it, except his???

[sparkly cat]

All the other laptop can see the router, but not his??

 

Happen just one day, one day could see it, then next day couldnt see it, still cant see it, etc etc

 

Now plugged in with a cable, can see it.

 

Sandra

[adelaidenow]

With cable plugged in are yous ure you can see it? you aren't now connected wirelessly. You are connecting via Ethernet, which is different.

 

THE SSID is the name of your wireless network, you could (and should) have it hidden to stop others connecting to it.

 

You should reboot the router anyway, turn it off, wait a min and turn it back on.

[sparkly cat]

we have rebooted the router several times and the SSID is Bigpond**** default when we got it and I dont think it is hidden

[adelaidenow]

OK, turn wireless off and back on on the laptop.

[sparkly cat]

done that several times too

 

Also turned wireless off router and laptop at same time and rebooted and turned on again

[adelaidenow]

I am about to eat, will be back in a few hours (big meal....)

[Guest Carolandcraig]

No you don't.

Maybe the password that is required is the username and passwork given by the ISP to access the internet and not the password of the router.

Just a thought.
