NB305 - Cannot get a WiFi connection

Bought a new NB305 today. Set it up (seemingly) OK, but I cannot get a WiFi connection.It recognises my home network, but will not connect. Troubleshooter etc. cannot solve it.
I can connect using a T-Mobile dongle though.
The netbook is running Windows 7 Starter and I have a Belkin F5D8632-4 v1 router. Is there possibly a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and the router? I have checked the wireless drivers on the netbook and both are latest versions.
Having spent the last hour or so searching through this forum and others, and tried various things I am now at a loss.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Hi Nickverwood,
In my opinion there shouldnt be a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and your router. Normally you can connect to router with every operating system.
So it would be interesting to why you cant connect. Are you prompted for WLAN password and are you using the right one?
Maybe you did activate the MAC address filter on router so you have to allow the MAC address of NB305 firstly before you can connect.
Have you tried a firmware update for router?

    How do I get online or on wifi connection using my Verizon account  on my iPad .. It says Verizon 3G but will not let me connect to wifi..I have no router..I buy monthly service thru verizonoand have signal strength

    You need a router that sends out a wifi signal. Or you can go to public library, fast food joint, etc.

  • Cannot get on wifi connected to T-1 with iMac

    My 90 yr. old aunt just went into the Home. She video conferences every day with my 89 yr. old dad while they play gin on Yahoo. The Home wifi crashed, and since then she cannot connect. I took her computer to the Apple Store, and it connected fine there. I called Apple Care, and we emptied everything, created new locations, deleted preferences, and they said it had to be the Home system. But I can get on with my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro. Bottome line, everyone else can get on the Home system, and my aunt can get on everywhere else. It always hangs with the password, but I know I am entering it correctly. They have a T1 system. They have shut down and restarted. They have tried to connect to the office network, as opposed to the resident network.
    Any ideas?

    Nevermind. The Home wifi went down again, and when it came back up, my aunt's iMac worked fine. So Apple Care was right. it was all on their end.

  • TS3992 I have the message on my iPad. This iPad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks..... This message has disabled the iPad so that I cannot get the wifi connection to do the backup. Can anyone help? Irene A

    This has meant being unable to use my iPad for 2 days!!! Help please!

    You're welcome.
    Some times it needs to remove all apps from multitasking before you make the Reset.
    (Double click the Home button and hold down an app. Then remove by taping the little "x")

  • I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus.  I cannot get it to connect to            my Airport Extreme V5.6.  It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel.  Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering

    I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus.  I cannot get it to connect to my Airport Extreme V5.6.  It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel.  Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering and channel on the old airports?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

  • Cannot get MacBook to connect to internet with Airport Extreme

    Starting this in a new thread so it doesn't get lost:
    I'm having a similar issue as a previous poster. I got the AEBS set up and working on my PC (running XP)--light was green, able to connect to internet. However, when I tried to connect using my MacBook it would not connect. It was telling me "ethernet not connected" and "firewire not connected". Already updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I wanted to switch from my previous wifi connection (belkin--no security code) to the AEBS, but I wound up having to switch back after trying to figure this out for SEVERAL HOURS. All the connections were correct--basically just transferred over the belkin wires to the AEBS--cable modem into the AEBS WAN port and then the other connecting cable into the ethernet ports to connect the modem to the AEBS. Tried switching the cables also--neither worked in getting the wifi connected. Tried rebooting both the cable modem and the AEBS--did not fix the wifi connection issue. I am ready to return this thing if I cannot get this figured out without wasting another 6 hours. After trying to reset everything I then wound up getting an issue where I could not connect at all even though the green light was on and the cable modem's lights were all on and I got an error code: error-6753. Again tried rebooting everything, but still had the same error code. I have unplugged the blasted thing, reset my Belkin so I can at least get back on-line and connect with the MacBook as well. Any suggestions? Not familiar with techie language.
    UPDATE--just looked on the MacBook again to see how the belkin is connected. It says "airport connected", "ethernet not connected", "firewire not connected": same as when I had the AEBS set up. Airport connected was indicated with the AEBS also. Able to connect with the belkin, but not the AEBS on the MacBook. HELP

    Thanks for the clarification.
    You know that you need to reset the cable modem whenever you change the device that it is connected to, correct? Push the reset button, power off the modem, (and pull the battery if it's easily accessible). The power down can be a few minutes to 30-60 depending on your provider. It's always better to leave the modem powered down longer rather than shorter if you're not sure how fast the equipment at your ISP will reset back at their offices.
    You're probably tired of resetting the AirPort Extreme, but I would recommend a factory default reset to clear everything out and start fresh.
    Power off the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in while you plug the power back into the AEBS
    Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light blink more quickly, hold another second or two when you see this, and then release.
    Connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AEBS. I also suggest that you temporarily connect another ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports until you have the device configured.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the 3rd or 4th window, you'll be asked how you want to configure the device. Choose the "Create a wireless network" option and continue to follow the setup until you Update the AEBS. You should have a green light in 20-30 seconds.
    For now, keep the ethernet cable connected from the LAN port to your computer and open your browser to check and see if you can get an internet connection. If so, then disconnect the ethernet cable and click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen to see if you can locate the name of wireless network you created and log on.
    Please post back on your progress or questions.

  • HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through.  It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed."

    HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

    Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation.  When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

  • I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

    how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

    If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
    No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.
