Cannot get computor to go wireless. says ssid sky22544 not valid.

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

The WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption key is in your router's wireless settings. Log into your router and got to the wireless settings, you will need to get the SSID and the encryption key. Then go to your computer/laptop's wireless card and configure it with the router's SSID and encryption key, so it will then connect to the wireless router and the Internet.

To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access,please click on this link and follow my instructions :-http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security.

To change your Residential Gateway wireless settings:

1. Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
   
   

   If the Home page does not open, check to make sure that you have no software firewalls blocking network access.
   

2. Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
   
3. Click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel (Status at a Glance) under the Wireless Settings heading.
   
4. Change your wireless settings and use the following information if you want to change to a custom WEP key.

   64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length. (For example, 123456789A is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.)
   

   128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length. (For example, 456FBCDF123400144445271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption.)
   

   64-bit ASCII keys are exactly 5 characters in length. (For example, GMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption)
   

   128-bit ASCII keys are exactly 13 characters in length (For example, 2008SUNSSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit encryption.)
   

SSID is the name of your wireless network. When the computer searches for available wireless networks, it displays SSIDs (names) of discovered networks.

When you are connected, and you click the wireless connection icon in the system tray, it will tell you to which network name it is connected.

Hi,

You need make sure that the wireless settings on your router is exactly the same as the wireless computer. Check the following:

1. Wireless Name/SSID
2. Wireless Security (if enabled, copy the settings and enter in on your wireless computer)
3. Wireless Filtering (if enabled, add the IP address or MAC address of your wireless computers)
4. Check if your getting a valid IP address

well if it IS working, you wouldn't be here would you? XD
anyways go to the wireless settings and manually add your SSID and WEP/WPA if applicable. If this doesn't work, get back to me.

have you customized the wireless settings of you router (e.g. ssid, wireless channel, wireless security)? if not, try to change your router's ssid or the wireless channel. it could be that some wireless devices are interfering with your signal.

hope this'll help you.

ciao!
