Answer» Should be FAIRLY simple, I've connected laptops and devices to my router wirelessly before, but I can't seem to do it with this new laptop I purchased for my mother. Now, I've TRIED everything from a full renewel of addresses on the router, to device accessing. My router is unencrypted RIGHT now, and will work fine. Laptop will work fine if plugged directly into a CAT5 line for internet. Laptop finds the router on the wireless network list but when I connect, it tries, but never completes. Laptop: Compaq V2610 Router: NETGEAR (Don't know model NUMBER off hand) Windows XP Home SP2 on both systems. Any suggestions as to why it won't connect?, I don't get a fail notice or anything, it just tries for 30 seconds then stops and won't connect. ::Edit:: A repair yields that it can't complete because it can't connect to the wireless network. ::Fixed:: Router needed a firmware upgrade and everything is fine now.glad we could be of assistance.
