| | Help setting up wireless network w/ new linksys router I had to redo my uncles wireless router this weekend. I was able to get the router hooked up and working with a hardwire, but the wireless didn't seem to get setup and when I tried to do it through control panel I didnt have any luck. I should say that I think he's on Vista (it's a compaq that's about 6 or 8 months old) what is the right way to do this? Thanks. Last edited by JohnnyScience; 03-15-2010 at 01:34 PM.. |

| | What model router is he using? Find the relevant product on the webpage and check the online manuals for it. Linksys by Cisco Home UK |

| | Sorry, I should say I need help setting up the wireless network, not the router itself, that part is done. This is the linksys router it is: Linksys by Cisco RangePlus-n Wireless Router WRT110 |

| | Why won't vista automatically detect the wireless like 7 did for me? Needless to say I'm still having an issue. |

| | Hi, can you connect to the router via it's ip address in any browser? example: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (should be your gateway ip address through "ipconfig /all" |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | If your uncle's system is a laptop, check whether the WiFi is turned on. If it is a desktop, check whether he has a WiFi card or dongle. |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | Well, it depends on the model and make. E.g HPs have a switch in the front left. Other makes use Fn plus one of the keys on the top or the side. Others again have a dedicated switch all the way on the top of the keyboard (sort of a touch-switch). I suggest you look into the manual of that laptop. You usually find that in the Help and Support section of the Start menu. |
