Connect the router directly to your computer via a Ethernet cable, type 192.168.1.1 on your browser, if is new from factory, username leave it in blank and password: admin
Once ou enter on the web based configuration you can go to the wireless section, set a name for your WiFi network (SSID) select WPA or WPA2 security and type the passfrase you want to sue to allow wifi devices to connect to your network (ex mywifiisawesome) leave channel like it was.

Disable mac address filter. or any other stuff you don't know about. every time you make a change save it and apply it, at the end, go to administration and change the router password from admin to a new one, this password is not to connect to your WiFi network this is only to access to the router config. the passfrase is the one you must type on your computers to access the WiFi.

Hi. First things is you should have a wireless router there or you are at a certain hotspot where there is a free wireless internet access e.g Starbucks. Procedure below:

1 Purchase a wireless router that fits your needs and price range.

2 Follow the router's manual to set up the router and its Internet connection, which will probably require connecting a wired client to the router. Once the wireless router is set up, the wired connection is no longer necessary. However, it's best to leave the wired client connected if it's a separate computer from that on which you're going to set up WiFi. If something goes wrong, you can access the administration interface again.

3 Gather information from the setup process. In order to set up the wireless client, you will need to know the service set identifier (SSID), the Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) key and the channel and mode.

4 Boot up the laptop and plug in the WiFi card. This will not be necessary if your laptop has an integrated WiFi card.

5 Install any drivers needed to use the WiFi card. Insert the disc that came with the WiFi card and follow the on-screen installation process. Most discs will trigger a new hardware wizard that makes installation extremely simple.

6 Double-click on the "WiFi Connection" icon. It can be found in the system tray at the bottom of the laptop screen.

7 Click on "Properties."

8 Select the "Wireless Networks" tab.

9 Use the "Add" button at the bottom of the dialog if your WiFi network isn't in the "Available Networks" section.

10 Click on "Configure" when you see your network's SSID in the "Available Networks."

11 Enter your network's SSID and WEP key.

12 Click on "Start," then choose "Connect To" and "Wireless Network Connection." Your computer should now be able to access the WiFi network. If the WiFi network is connected to the Internet, it should also be able to connect to the Internet.

Hi,

Laptop normally have single chip WiFi or Wireless Cards...

These cards could be used as client(connecting to wireless router), adhoc or access point(a WiFi card could be used as Access Point to route your LAN(Wired) connection on WLAN)...

Your laptop WiFi card is already busy as a Cleint, so if you want to use it as AdHoc, you have to remove all the other connection with the WIreless...ie, Disconnect the WLAN from connecting other devices, and follow the below mentioed steps to connect your device..

When you are using Client mode you are not able to use it on Ad-hoc or Access Point feature...

Setup laptop to Ad-Hoc
1)Navigate to control panel and choose network connection, Right click on the Wireless network connection and click on the Properties on Wireless NIC
2) Click-Wireless Networks Tab
3) Click-Add
4) Provide SSID Name, name to identify you rnetwork
5)Security -Net Auth: Open
6)Make -Data Encryption: Disabled
7) In the check box present-Check on This is a Computer to Computer (ad-hoc) network.
Change the IP address of the Wireless NIC card, by choosing TCp IP in the properties of WLAN and choosing TCP/IP v4 from the installed service

TCP/IP on Laptop
-IP: 10.0.0.1
-Subnet: 255.255.255.0

TCP/IP on iPhone
-Static IP
-IP: 10.0.0.2
-Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Now try searching for Wireless through your phone, you should able to connect..
Please leave me comment, if you need further assistance

Hello michael,

The lock you see indicates that the network you are trying to connect to requires a password for authentication.

You can access your ipod settings and enter the credentials by following the below steps:

1- First connect to your closed Wi-Fi network
2- Choose Wi-Fi, then tap Other and enter the network name.
3- Choose Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password.

This should be it.

Have a good day.

Hi,

Assuming that your laptop has a built-in WiFi Networking card (or even a USB or PCMCIA WiFi adapter), normally its a matter of setting your Network configuration to "Auto obtain IP address automatically". This could be done in your Control Panel/Networking Connections, right click on your wireless Networking, click on Properties, highlight Internet protocol (TCP/IP), click on the Properties button and tick "Obtain...".

In some instances you might need to key in the WEP or WPA security key if it has been enabled and set in your WiFi router, though it has been known to slow down connections. If on the otherhand the router has its MAC filter enabled, then you would need to add your laptop's WiFi MAC numbers to the list that the router would allow access to.

Should the above be not corrective of your concern, pls post back with the make & model of your router, laptop, and the WiFi adapter if external/add-on. Knowing your Operating System would also help.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back as requested, how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
