SOURCE: Unable to connect to wi-fi

I think it is saying that the wifi "card" is set so that it is not being configured by windows.

In XP

Control panel > Network connections

Under LAN or High-speed internet you will see an icon labelled wireless network connection. Right click on this and then click properties. You will see three tabs at the top
General - Wireless Networks - Advanced

Click on wireless networks
There should be a tick-box saying Use windows to configure my wireless network settings. I expect that, in your case, the box is unticked which means that the software supplied by the vendor of the wifi card is configuring the settings. I find that it is usually more reliable to let windows do it.

So tick the box and click OK. You may then have to reboot.

The 8200 by itself does not have networking capability.
This means that you cannot connect it directly to your router and give it an IP address, so others can connect to it.

The good thing is, that this printer is listed on the list for compatibility for upgrade with the wireless network kit (see here). The bad thing is - this kit costs about 70$ (see here).

A solution which does not cost anything, is to share the printer from your computer with the other computers. The downside is that the machine to which the printer is connected has to be running in order to let the others print.

If you decide to buy the Networking Kit - here are the setup instructions.

Sorry - but there is no simple (plug & pray) solution.

Ok first thing to know is if the LD is detecting networks at all. Tap the wfif icon and hit the scan button. If you see a list of available networks that means its working and the problem is the settings.
I'm assuming that it is detecting the network from your description.

The LD supports WEP and WPA so you have other options if nothing else. WEP is nice and simple (most of the time anyway)
On the scan find your network tap edit, Make sure the SSID is correct, Make sure that it says WEP under scurity and then tap the key box where is says assigned.

Now this is the bit that makes or breaks the connection. Make sure the key type is set correctly. You have three choices hex, ascii or passphrase. Most wireless router just use the first two.
You need to make sure that this is set to exactly the same as the router.

For ten digits that means you are trying to use 40-bit hex which is not the easiest but it works sometimes. Ascii tends to go a lot easier and I would suggest you consider switching over the ascii to avoid the headaches. I don't know why the LD does not want to work all of the time when using the hex key but it does seem to have problems. Assuming you have the hex key matching exactly as per the one you have in the router it should work. Should but sometimes just won't. Check your cases and make sure you are only using the basic ascii set not the extended. Stick to number and letters and you should be good.

I have never had a problem with the ascii or passcode but usually do not have much sucsess with the hex setup even when it is correct. I've assumed that it was something I've missed but have not had these problems using other devices.

Dear Meghna you have not mentioned the wifi router make and moel
no problem
for this you have to go to your router web admin to add your device as WPS client this will solve the problem
for that all the models are differently configured so you have to try playing with the settings yourself, if you jumble up the settings of you wifi router there is a reset switch in all the routers that restors your router to factory settings.
if you find my information useful dont forget to vote me with the thumbsup thankyou and take care Gagan Gupta

I keep on getting an unidentified connection via my Huawei WiFi router with MAC address BC:41:01:4C:CF:89. What does this mean and how do I stop it?

mac address is an unique network device equipment identifier.
How to stop it. Change encryption key when you add wpa or wep encryption to wi fi security on router. Added security - do not broadcast ssid and change it to something different.
All devices with wi fi will need to be changed to match wi fi encryption method and key and ssid name.

Having problems with SHARP smart television. "Authentication Problem" keeps showing

Check you wi fi router Note the security key for its security encryption either WPA or WEP on the 2.4 GHz network
How do you do that you go to another computer and go to Dos Prompt and type in ipconfig and press enter
Note the default gateway ip address and type this into an internet browser to log into the router Hopefully you will know the admin user name and password for the router. if you are lucky it will be the default settings for user name and password.
Your TV will need to have the WPA or WEP authenication set up to the key that that the Wi FI Router is set to.

Why can't I connect to wifi anywhere?

there are two systems.
Mobile data and private Wi Fi networks.

Some Wi Fi networks with limited range are available at Wi Fi hot spots but you need to know the password to connect.

In my country Australia Telstra is going to offer Wi FI hot spots for its home users broadband customers and will then bill the usage to their home account. https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/telstra-air

this is a new network concept in its infancy

My bigpond wireless elite gateway is failing and telstra no longer supplies them . They supplied a wi fi 4g advanced11 but it doesn't have Ethernet or computer ports. What can I replace the elite unit

There are lots of router suppliers out there on the internet and via amazon and ebay.

Look for a compatible broadband router, cable?

Wi-Fi included as well Ethernet connections.

All operate to agreed standards, so there should be no problem setting up the router.

I am trying to connect to a pocket wi fi. The manual says when connecting you may have to enter a password. is that for the pc or the wi fi device?

When youclick Refresh network list, then Choose yourwireless network and then click Connect to your secured WirelessNetwork, it will asks for a Network Key before allowing you to connectinto your wireless network. This Network Key is either the WEP, orWPA or WPA2 Encryption key that is used to configure the Wireless Router. The Passphraseis an alternate way to setup the Encryption key.
When you are requested for a Network Key, you can just enter the Passphrasethat was used to configure the Encryption key in the wireless router.

What is the security Key I am trying to set up my wireless connection but can not find Wireless Network Name (SSID) or Wireless Encryption Key:

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link.
http://192.168.0.1
or
http://192.168.1.1
If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it.
Then it ask for user name and password.
Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank.
Then you can see configuration page of router.

Click on wireless settings enable wireless then enable WEP Security then add WEP code .It is your password to connect wi fi.Then save settings and restart router.
You can also find SSID to set network name in wireless settings.
Then you can connect your wi fi network with that code.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.
