Cannot connect wireless works fine wired - NetGear DG834G Router

Its possible that in ap mode it cant handle wired and wireless and that the wired connection takes priority of the only available ip address, thus the wireless cards cant get an ip and so cant connect.

of course that could be b*****s but you never know.

yes i know you said it works fine when using xp pro so maybe the router doesnt release the ip correctly with win7.

any chance of installing a wifi card from one of the xp machines into the win7 machine just to test it?

can you test connecting one of the xp machines with wired and see if the other can connect using wireless?

So please You will have to reboot your router and all the wireless XP systems, while the Win 7 system is off. You may have to reboot the router once in a while. Not the most elegant solution, but this is the only way my XP systems with wireless would work.

wired one is best if you dont worry about mobility in terms of speed wired is faster than wireless one ;-)

Check the IP address on the Vista wireless network connection. Make sure that there is not static IP address on the wireless connection. That could be one of the reason.

Hi,

To fix the problem,
please press the connect connect button on the bottom of the mouse and the connect button on the reciever and relaese both the buttons together. this would rest the wireless connection and then the mouse should work fine.

regards.

So the desktop is working with the wired connection. That means the wired part of the router is working . you will need to check the wireless settings of the router. For this you will need to access the router set up page. When you try to connect to the wireless network , Do you get any message ? Or you are not able to see any wireless network ? The message will be important to identify the problem. First try to connect to the wireless network on the laptop. Try to change the wireless channel on the router. That may help you.

Hi,
what is the wireless status in system tray? is it local or local and internet.
1. first check if it works fine with wire conection or not.
2.if it fine with cable then issue is with wireless. probably issue with Wireless security key.
3. go to available wireless networks and select the net work, if it is asking for wireless key please enter that. if you donot remember that perform router reset.that takes care of it.

• hard wire the laptop to the router, which reestablishes the connection.
• set the connection to be wireless
• follow the prompts and you will soon be wireless again

Does the router work with the wired port connection? It's entirely possible that the router just went belly-up on you ...Linksys is an awesome brand, but sometimes it happens.

If the wired part works, the wireless transmitter inside may have gone bad. Best to just get a new one for about $50 ...but keep the old one in case you need a wired connection somewhere else around the house :)

1. Make sure that wireless settings are properly synchronized.
>> ssid/security key.
2. Check your computers wireless connection status
> Make sure that it is set to "obtain ip address automatically)
3. If still not working if computer is set to obtain ip automatically, try assigning static ip on wireless pc
> You need to know your router's ip address and dns
4. Disable firewall on wireless pc.

what is your ip and subnet addresses? are they complete? sometimes I enter my own in the alternate tab. eg.

ip; 192.168.1.105
sub; 255.255.255.0
gate; 192.168.1.1

dns; 192.168.1.1
alt dns; 192.168.0.1
