no wireless connection
I just replaced my Linksys 802.11g router with a Trendnet 802.11n router. I have wireless access from my laptops and can access my wireless connected HP laser. My N800 does not see the new router. The Trendnet has 802.11b/g compatability as I have laptop and printer access which are all 802.11b/g. The N800 doesn't seem to have any parameters that I can change that are different from the previous router setup. Does anybody have any suggestions? The 802.11n connection is so much faster I would hate to revert to the Linksys.

Re: no wireless connection
I have the same problem with the Apple's AirportExtreme. What I do is switch the Channel setting from Auto to something low -- between 1 and 5.

Re: no wireless connection
I just replaced a Belkin Pre-n router with a Belkin N1. My N800 was connected to the internet just fine with the Pre-N and I had a hell of a time getting it to see the network, and then connect to the network. It turned out that my WPA-pre-shared key was either too long or had symbols in it that weren't read by the router, I guess, because when I removed the symbols and went with all letters and numbers it finally connected automatically. What tipped me off to this was a window that said, "Authentication failed." Try looking at and altering your security entries.
EDIT: I meant I had a hard time connecting with the N1. |
Re: no wireless connection
In order to make things simple I didn't set up wep. It is a basic configuration with no bells and whistles. Surprisingly, the Trendnet Network Magic software sees a device but cannot identify it or the manufacturer. I will try changing the channel selection from auto to a lower number. Even though my laptops are visible to it.

Re: no wireless connection
Changed the channel to a lower number but no luck. Since I still have the old G router is there any way to connect two wireless access points to the same cable connection? I hate to give up the speed of the N and I love the N800.

Be sure to adjust the channels so that each router is on a non-overlapping channel (1,6,11 in north america). Hope this helps, Craig... |
