Tiscali wireless broadband????

Question

I have set up my wireless broadband with tiscali.(wireless router and adapter for computer). I have gone through the setup to setup my connection, my computer finds the router via the connection and then asks for its wpa number (which has something to do with security of the connection). I have entered the number and clicked ok. It then says it is testing the router. About 2 mins later though it brings up a page saying that it cannot detect my router and that I should turn off any firewall, I have tried this and it still doesn't work. What should I do?

Answer 1

sounds like a poor signal from the router, move it closer and also make sure your microwave is turned off!

Answer 2

You have to set it up with a wired ethernet connection first: Set up the wireless settings on the router via the cable & then connect wirelessly.

Answer 3

You have password protection on your wireless router. Make sure you have the right passcode or hex code!! You may also want to make a static IP address, it makes the whole handshake procedure between the the wireless router and computer easier.

I'm assuming your router SSID is being broadcast so it is probably not a network vision problem. You should hook up a lan cable to the back of your wireless router and check the configurations. You can even reset the passcode to make it easier to enter / remember.  

Once you verify your passcode / set a static IP address on your computer / turn off your virus protection (5 minutes).. then try to reconnect, refresh the IP address if necessary. You should be okay after that.

... btw ... most modern microwaves don't emit enough RF energy to cause disruptions but they both operate in the 2.4 GHz band. Most wireless routers allow you to change frequency channels within the 2.4 GHz band.
