Solve : Internet lost and found? |
|
Answer» Every time I reset our Cisco router the password goes back to password and everyone has internet. Once I change the network name or password, all wireless internet is lost, but once connected with an ethernet cable, it works on that said laptop. I have Windows 7 and here are the stats: Once I change the network name or password, all wireless internet is lostIf you change the previous SSID(home router network ID) and password, the previously saved network profile for the particular router is disregarded. All wireless computers would see the newly set/replace SSID as another available network within range. By PROVIDING them the correct password key - encryption type set either WEP/WPA/WPA2, they will now be able to connect next time. Yes, but when I attempt to connect to the renamed network it doesn't even bring up the "insert key" window. It INSTANTLY moves to "no internet connection, troubleshoot".What computer model and is this IP configuration log posted on your 1st post? Please post the router model also and is it connected by a modem of what ISP? I see virtual wifi also on your IP log, can you see any enabled virtual wifi by the network connections and device manager? If yes, try disabling it. Yes, the log is on the first post. It's a Toshiba Satellite L505. The modem is an Actiontec GT701D. I am not sure where I can find the ISP. The router is a Cisco Linksys E1000. "can you see any enabled virtual wifi by the network connections and device manager? If yes, try disabling it." I'm not sure what you mean by this.Check the laptop wifi switch if its enabled. Did you correctly set the wireless on Linksys router if its broadcast as available with security key and encryption? Go to Network and Sharing (for Win 7) and open Change adapter settings. Network icons available should only be for the Realtek Ethernet LAN and Realtek 802.11n Wireless LAN. Do you see a third network icon for virtual wifi adapter?The linksys E100 manual http://help.ecobee.com/attachments/token/howroilplaxny3u/?name=Linksys+E1000_V10_UG_USA_NC-WEB.pdf Go to wireless settings - Manual setup. Use the default settings as much as possible. Ignore the wireless MAC filter settings also and WPS. The three connections: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (connected) Realtek RTL8191 Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC (attempting to authenticate) Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter (not connected) I made everything default (wasn't much to do) and checked if it would wirelessly connect and it failed to do so.To connect wirelessly, remove first the ethernet or wired connection. Then hover your ARROW icon to the wifi icon by system tray. Check for the available wireless network - choose your home network new SSID. If you arrive at entering the password key, MAKE sure it matches the encryption key you've set which is either WEP, WPA, or WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. * Try right-clicking the Microsoft Virtual Network and choose disable. * If you have a software connection utility for the realtek wifi adapter, try connecting first from there. * When removing wired connection, check the wireless light by the keyboard is enabled or a wireless switch.Connection-specific DNS Suffix: Description: Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC Physical Address: 00-26-B6-BD-EE-24 DHCP Enabled: Yes Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.67.165 IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 IPv4 Default Gateway: IPv4 DNS Server: IPv4 WINS Server: NetBIOS over Tcpip Enabled: Yes Link-local IPv6 Address: fe80::887d:6f18:5e35:43a5%11 IPv6 Default Gateway: IPv6 DNS Servers: fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1, fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1, fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1 I rolled back the Realtek driver and the third network disappeared, however - it still attempts to authenticate and can't find any internet. Above are the details it provided me with. No; you do not seem to understand that when I try to connect, it brings me to a mini window that says "Windows was unable to connect" and gives me options to cancel and troubleshoot. I do not even get a window to enter the key. Wifi is enabled on this laptop and this is the only device that is giving me problems. I think you need to remove all previous network profiles and start manually connecting to your new SSID home network. Go to Network and Sharing - Manage Wireless Network and right-click each and delete. Try connecting first as close as possible to the wireless router to eliminate the distance or range issue. Also, can you connect by other wifi spots? |
