Wireless network
Driving me mad. I lost my DSL connection when the provider made me upgrade the modem. I could no longer make the wireless router work. It was connected and recognised but would not send a wireless signal (or at least no computer around the house could detect it beyond a few feet). So I bought a new router, an N MIMO router. It is supposed to be backward compatible, since all my computers are G or B. IO also have a Hawkings range extender that does not work with non-G systems, or at least I have been told that is true.
The new router set up easily, and the extender said it was working so I put the stuff around the house and it does not work. The computers in the house do not see the router or the range extender, except in the same room as the router. Same problem as before. Cannot force the wireless to connect no way.
Question, is this due to the receivers not being N? Can I tell the router to send information on the old G system? Is there some security with the new type that I can stop?
The router is a Belkin and most of the network cards are also Belkin. The house is big, with three floors and each floor is a concrete slab with rebar so it is not easy, but it should work at least 20 feet you would think.
Driving me mad, or did I already say that?
