internet connection setup in Network and Sharing Centre corrupt!
hi all,
I should state first of all i'm a newbie to computers so if you have any responses please write in layman terms.
I connect to the web through a modem which is connected to a D-link router, this worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. I can connect to net but the set up in doing so has completely changed from when I first used the computer.
first the D-link doesnt appear when searching for devices when I try to start a new network connection. Although I'm able to use the web through the modem and router, the other computers no longer see the network via there wi-fi.
My Networking and Sharing Centre seems to have reverted to a basic layout or set up, I can only connect through something called 'Wan Miniport (pppoe)'.
where as when I first setup a connection I was able to set up the following
SSID:
Channel: recommended
Encryption: WPA2-PSK
Password:
I dont have these options any more, not even when I remove all my network connections and try a completely new network.
I am trying to explain my problem but I'm not sure if I can, but to help I've added pics.
Note the second picture down, the username and password are not mine!!!
can anyone make sense of my problem, thanks
