Hey peeps, would appreciate some troubleshooting advice, I have no idea what's wrong.
Until last week I was connected wirelessly to a BT Home Hub (the original v1.0) through an Asus 138g v2 PCI card, but now my desktop flat out refuses to connect to the hub.
Vista reports 'excellent' signal strength, and the laptop wireless works brilliantly in the same room, so I don't think this is an issue with the signal strength. The PC downstairs had a good wireless connection too.
When I try to connect to the Home Hub, I get "Windows cannot connect to BTHomeHub" almost straight away. Sometimes if I leave it alone for long enough, it will automatically try to connect, but it'll display an Unidentified Network in the network and sharing center.
What I've tried so far:
Letting Windows reset the adapter IP address.
Restarting both computer and router.
Resetting router completely to factory defaults.
Changing the wireless channel several times on both adapter and router.
Updating drivers on the Asus wireless card.
Turning off wireless encryption on the router...
... and changing it to WPA-PSK with a custom password.
Turning off Windows Firewall.
Pinging the ip of the router in command line - all packets lost.
None of this has had any effect
Has anyone got any other ideas? I'm very much a noob when it comes to networking, so i'm a bit out of my depth with anything beyond 'turning it off and on again', but this has been driving me nuts. Especially since I used to be able to get online ok, even though it was a little slow and occasionally flaky. I haven't been able to check facebook for ages!![]()
Help plz?
