Not connecting but can see everything

I am running Windows Vista on a HP Laptop, Rogers cable internet with Cisco Linksys WRT31ON Router.  
Everything has been running perfectly for over 8 months and then suddenly yesterday my wireless connection stopped functioning.  After a couple of attempts to reconnect (disable / reenable --> disconnect, acquire new IP address, reconnect) still nothing so I went back to the other room and connected to the LAN (wall to modem to router to laptop).. all better.  Noted that all the lights on the modem and router are fully lit and blinking as normal including the wireless strength.  Left the LAN in, restarted the computer .. still all good.  Disconnected the LAN and tried to reconnect the wireless.  I can see the wireless network, excellent strength but won't connect.  Error message is either connect to another network or wireless strength issue.  Disconnected the modem and router completely, walked away for 10 minutes reconnected everything to the LAN (wall to modem to router to laptop) ... all good.  Re-built the wireless network using the Cisco CD following all the steps.  Find wireless network in list, attempt to connect .. NOTHING!  
Wash, rinse, repeat.  I did all that 3 times now.  Nothing.  ARRRGH.
I checked driver and have most up to date.  WAN toggle is on.  Wireless network connection in list of available networks and is showing excellent reception.  No changes to environment i.e. no new phones, tvs, etc.) in home.   My iPod Touch which I could also connect to previously can see new network connection with excellent strength but can't connect to it either.  
ANY suggestions that you have would be MOST appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.  
Hopefully someone can offer some suggestions.  

I would suggest you to readjust the wireless settings of the router.Login into the Linksys setup page and do the following steps...
- Keep the Network Mode "Mixed"
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box.
- Change the Channel Width to 20MHz only
- Change the Channel to 11.
- Recheck the wireless security.

  • My ipod screen does not light, I can see the icons, connects to itunes but it does not even light up the brightness of the screen. I made it the restoration of production and did not work.

    My ipod screen does not light, you can see the icons, connects to itunes but it does not even light up the brightness of the screen. I made him the restoration of production and did not work.
    Please I need to know what do I have to do.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • Bridge cannot build criteria, goes on and on and then tells me to clear cache, which I've done, but it still cannot open. I can see everything in the Mac Finder no problem. What to do?

    I recently moved all of my images to a Mac from a Dell. Everything was perfect, but a few weeks ago I started getting an error message in Bridge that it could not read (not sure of this) the criteria and that I should go into preferences and clear the cache. Which I did. Now when I open bridge it sees a few images and then says it's building criteria, for like hours, and then the same error comes back. I don't know what to do.  Any ideas? I can see everything in Finder or search, everywhere but bridge. it's the same for .psd, .jpg or raw.
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

  • IPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not take charge

    iPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not charge

    Hello Kbeaty531,
    The following article provides some good information and useful troubleshooting steps for situations where your iPhone appears to not be charging.
    iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
    You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • HT201412 Can't get on FaceTime says wifi not connected but I can get mail, how?

    Can't get FaceTime to work, my wifi says not connected but I can still get mail, how can this happen?

    I was having the same problem. I've probably screwed things up royally by doing so, but I just went ahead and created another Apple ID with a different email address, and will inform anyone who I will be using FaceTime with to use the new one. I tried using the "multiple ID finder" thing but it only ever returned the ID I'm using right now; I can't verify the email address this ID is associated with for some reason.
    It's a clusterfark.

    I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

    Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

    Dear Al
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
    Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.
    Regards

    Hey Babakgh,
    I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

  • HT4628 some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
    I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
    As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
    Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

  • I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Have WIFI connection but can't access Safari or App store, nothing.  Can anyone help??

    I have just bought a iPad 2 WI-FI 16G today.  I have a full WI-FI connection but can't access the App store or Safari for any webpages, can anyone help?
    Thanks!!!!

    Despite what you call, "a full WiFi connection", you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid local network IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to the router for 30 seconds and then  restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
