Had to reset router, wired connection fine wireless not working even w/out security

Question

hi, after that freakin blackout that made my internet stop workin, i did a complete reset to my router, and reconfigured it all over again, now i can connect to the internet if im wired to it but if im wireless i cant (tried with other laptops, xbox and it wouldnt work) i even left the wireless without security but its the same, when i click on connect to my network, it hangs forever "connecting" and in the end it remains unconnected... BTW i have a button in wireless settings "Status SES Inactive" which in the first firmware version it wasnt there, and i dont know what its for and if i should use it (what is "SES"? its not in the help manual)

Answer 1

hi..
                            hmmm.....i hope i cn help u im not so sure if it will work but then try to do so....
                           access the set-up page...try 192.168.1.1 or if it will not prompt for  a username and a password just in case that u r n a dsl connection use this 192.168.2.1...launch internet explorer and type 192.168.2.1 on the address bar u shud be promted with a username and password
leave the usrname blank and passwrd is "admin" if ever admin password will not work try to type in any password tht u can possibly use and after that u must be able to access the router's set-up page....
on the router's set-up page
click on wireless tab
change the ssid or network name to ur preferred network name like ur name or ur lastname...
after that click save settings and it will tell u if saving the settings is succesful.....
after that click again on wireless tab and click the wireless security tab
and then change the security mode to WPA personal or if ever u can't see the WPA personal click on WPA pre-shared key and type on the wpa pre-shared key box the network key for ur router it is like a password for ur network.....type in at least 8 characters....
and click save settings.....
and then close that window and try on ur wireless computer to view avaliable network and then refresh network list and look for ur network name and hit connect there the comp will ask for a network key type in there ur network key....
take care...
i'm not sure if it cn help u but just try to do so...
