Cannot connect to wireless network

I have the same problem. The only way I could get it to work is to click on the wifi icon. Select the wireless information tab, select your connection. Right click on it and delete it. Then Add new and reinstall. Right now I have to do this every time I power down or 'Suspend' but it does work.

Hi,

You need to connect it to a wireless network, from the home screen go along to settings, down to network settings, choose a mode, (Infrastructure should work fine) New connection, Scan, (here you should see your SSID and signal strenght) choose security type that your wireless network has. enter any security details such as WEP key. Choose Easy for address Setting, choose a connection name. (Home) Save it and then test the connection, if it fails it should show you where it fails along the line.

Hope this helps

Hi kdfrance

Please everyone that comes across my info take a few seconds of your time to rate my solution which you can select at the bottom of my answer Was this solution helpful? YES or NO :)... As i have taken time to answer your question the best i can Thank You......


Try turning off media server on ps3 Go into the PS3?s Settings menu and navigate to Network Settings - Media Server Connection disable it thats my first idea which could be causing the issue..Secondly unplug your modem/router for 15 sec then plug back in...THEN FOLLOW STEPS

1. Select "Network Settings" under "Settings" in the home menu, and then press the "X" button.
2. Select "Internet Connection Settings", and then press the "X" button. When a message stating that the Internet connection will be terminated is displayed, select "Yes", and then press the "X" button.
3. Select "Wired Connection" or "Wireless Connection", and then press the "X" button.
4. Select "Easy" or "Custom" and adjust settings as necessary. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust the required settings.

Note: You should always choose Easy before going onto to adjusting the Custom settings. In most cases, the Easy settings will work and are set automatically so you won't have to search for information that could have been gathered automatically.

Hope this info was helpful cheers nikki

check whether it wants security key.ask service provider for default key. or signal strenght might be low.

Log in to your NETGEAR router by browsing to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. Enter the username (admin)and password by default the password is 1234 unless it has already been changed
from the left-hand navigation menu of the router manager,select wireles set up>wireless settings
from the center screen,select your encrytion type from under the Security Options heading
if the wireless network passphrase is visible,review it and use it to log on devices onto your network.
If it is not visible you can change your wireless passphrase but changing your passphrase will cause you to lose your wireless connection
Connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet Cable before entering a new passphrase into the text box and clicking apply.
If you cannot log into your router:Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

Restoring factory defaults on a device will erase any customizations you have made. You will lose any configurations saved to the device!

From the center screen, select your encryption type from under the Security Options heading.

If the wireless network passphrase is visible, review it and use it to log devices onto your network.

If it is not visible, you can change your wireless passphrase; however, changing the passphrase will cause you to lose your wireless connection. Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable before entering a new passphrase into the text box and clicking Apply.

if your home is set up with wireless router and your computers are connected online wirelessly read along....

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO HAVE A WIRELESS HOME NETWORK... it definitely wont work if you don't have a wireless setup and u are trying to connect wirelessly. people overlook this no brainer.

1) go to Settings
2) Network Settings
3) Internet Connection Setting. confirm on "O.K."
4) easy *it may or may not give you a message reading "checking network configuration"
5) wireless

from this point on you need to know few things about your network.....

6) scan -- once scanned it'll give you other wirelss access point for you home network and some other near your home along with few information such as SSID (which is what you set your network to be -- i.e. "the jones" or "linksys" or "summer home" or "my connection" etc etc) SECURITY (this is the password you set up your network with) SIGNAL STRENGHT (usually your network will be the strongest among your neighbors since you are closer to your router)
7) highlight your network and press x . (you should know what it is) selecting on the other network will probably not do you any good since it'll probably be all locked with password and such and so should yours be.
8) SSID which means service set identifier basically mean the name of your network. if your home network is set up with security and password your home network will not show up under SSID (this is one of the things you need to know about your home network)
9) on WLAN SECURITY SETTING page (this is another thing you should know about your home network or ask the person who set it up) -- most people i deal with have a WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK security password yours may be different so choose the one that you used.
10) WPA KEY - which basically means password. input the password you used to set up your home network (this is another thing you should know about your home network or ask the person who set it up)
**it'll give you "checking network configuration"
11) if you input all the correct info you should get the "setting list" screen
12) press "X" to save the setting
13) do the connection test and if all things were entered correctly you should have success.

all this seems complicated just reading but if you follow it step by step its easy. you just need to know the name of your home network, the home network security setting, and the password of your home network.

Ok, the problem is that you can't connect to YOUR network right? Here's some things that could help you out:

1. Make sure you reset your modem, simply unplug it for a few seconds. Then connect it again, select your network automatically.
2. Make sure your internet provider's servers aren't down.
3. Make sure modem is connected to your router properly.

Hope this helped. Good Luck!

CAN'T GET OR DON'T KNOW?
IF YOU DONT KNOW TRY TO OPEN (MY NETWORK PLACES) THEN CLICK ( Network Connections ) GO TO THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ICON RIGHT CLICK ---> STATUS YOU CAN FIND THE SPEED AND SIGNAL STRENGTH THERE ....
IF YOU DID THESE AND DIDNT WORK TRY TO RE-INSTALL THE EXACT WIRELESS CARD DRIVER ....

try this...

Make sure you have wireless enabled on your router and on the laptop. For the router, on your desktop open a web browser.Type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The default user name is blankand the password is admin. This will log you into your router. Oncelogged on, click on the wireless tab. Make sure that wireless isenabled and you have an SSID (also known as a Network ID). Also, makesure SSID broadcast is enabled. When this info is verified and set upyou can close the web browser.

Now move to the laptop. Click once on the network icon on the taskbar (the 2 computer monitors by the clock). Select "Connect or disconnect..." When the window comes up, select your wireless connection.

Try this:

Plug ito your router with a network plug (ethernet adaptor) in a web browser enter the router access code (192.1.1.100) or check with your router manual to access the router. once in the router add the PC to the network this should allow you to access the network at full strenght
