Network Key (WEP, WPA, WPA2 Encryption key)To connectyour computer to a wireless router, you click the Refresh networklist, then Choose your wireless network and then click Connectto your secured Wireless Network, it will asks for a Network Keybefore allowing you to connect into your wireless network. This NetworkKey is either the WEP, or WPA or WPA2 Encryption key that is used toconfigure the Wireless Router. The Passphrase is an alternate way tosetup 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.http://www.fixya.com/support/r5270415-network_password_network_address

SOURCE: Wirless connectivity problem

What qualifies you people to write responses? The switch for the 6930 is located just above the NumLock key. It actually looks like an LED indicator of a satellite dish, but it's not. It's the button for the WiFi enable/disable. Push it hard...

SOURCE: Will not connect to any Internet source

You would be well advised to contact (phone) your internet service provider support personnel and let them guide you through it. Without knowing the details of your ISP, I'm unlikely to be able to guide you to the correct solution. In many cases, if you have another internet connected computer to access their web site, you will find detailed information to help you with your particular setup.
I hope helps you to get reconnected...

SOURCE: i cant get into my internet settings !acer aspire

I know nothing about Linux and had the same problem. I found this on another site as I have been searching for an answer. Just finished as instructed and it has worked. Just in case I renamed the folder rather than deleting it! "Follow this then restart and everything should come back to normal. It took me 3 minutes and worked fine.

This is to find and delete the networking folder (which is causing the problem):

1. From the regular Aspire One options page, go to the Files panel
2. Click on the triangle to see more icons
3. Click on MyFiles, which opens a file manager window.
4. In the menu bar, select View->Hidden files, to show a tick in the box. You should be in the "My Disk:///" directory.
5. Scroll down until you find folder "gconf" and then click on that
6. Find folder "system" and click on that
7. You should now see folder "networking" listed as one of the folders.
8. DELETE IT! (Right click on the networking folder, and select option delete.)

I just restarted from here and the icon re appeared in bottom right the menu bar, I just clicked on it to set it up with my wifi signal and it did the rest itself. " Have fun and dont panic!

SOURCE: how do i turn the wireless capabilty on?

Look for a WiFi button to ensure it isn't off. If it isn't, then go to the Control Panel and go to Device Manager (Hardware Manager in Vista) and make sure the device disabled. Right click it and choose Enable. Should pick up your wireless.

Is this laptop equipped with wirless connection fromthe manufactorere or must it be purchased

Most late model Acer Aspire laptops have G or N WiFi included in the computer. My Acer 3680 series has it built in (G) and I added a D-Link N card to it to speed things up.

There should be a switch on the front or a Fn Button that turns on the WiFi.

I bought acer one mini laptop if i have to connect wirless internet what i have to do do give me the step by step instruction how wirless internet works [email protected]

How you connect depends on where you are connecting to.
If you want to connect to your existing internet at you house you will need to purchase a wireless router and connect your dsl or cable modem to your router. You will then have a wireless connection in your home.
If you are talking about connecting to a public wifi connection (like at Starbucks) you will have to be within range to get a signal. If you are at your friends house and they have an existing wireless connection that is secured you will need the access key.

Once you are ready to connect you will need to decide how you want to manage your wireless connection. Usually your wireless cards include software to manage your connection. If you do not have the software or you do not like the software Windows can manage your connection for you. To enable this service you will need to open control panel and then open administrative tools open services and scroll all the way to the bottom and click on wireless zero configeration change startup type to automatic. This shoulbe the only time you have to manually configure this service.
After you choose which program to use for your wireless connection open it and you will see available wireless connections click connect on your desired connection and you should be on.

My new wirless acer aspireone d250 will not connect to my network, it keeps tell me its unable to connect to preferred wireless network

Wireless Network? With password for login OR for free.....? Make sure this....
If your laptop have wireless internal and turn ON. See your indicator WiFi. And your laptop may be detect some hotspots in your area. If ready to know that hotspot, that's mean your WiFi in laptop is WORKING for that purpose. And you can ask to network administrator for your purpose and log into internet (with WPA key or for free...)
