How to add a second laptop to a Linksys router?

Question

I currently have a desktop computer and have the router for one laptop. I just purchased another laptop and I am trying to connect the internet to it. I went to the Linksys page and tried to add the laptop's info by clicking on the "Wireless" tab but it went to 99% and says "Searching for your client device.

Please wait...

If you haven't clicked on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your client device, please do so now. " Its been like this for the past hour. What do I do now? Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Just go to your laptop's Network settings (in Control Panel) and search for your network then choose "connect".  If you've secured your network with a password (which I hope you've done) enter it and you should be good to go.

Answer 2

I had this problem. Trust me, do NOT call Linksys. My dad was on the phone with them for literally 4 hours, each person told him something different and when they didn't know what to do they hung up on him.

You usually have to enter the wireless network code. I think it's different on different laptops ... if it's a Mac laptop make sure you use $ in front of the code.

It's sort of hard for me to explain on here (I'm better doing it rather than explaining) but hope this helped even a bit.
