Hi there
I have a small wireless broadband network at home. Up until a few weeks ago it was all good. I started experiencing problems with the line being dropped for hours at a time. Couldn't connect to internet at all but all pcs in house still seeing wireless router. Broadband service provider came to check and when he left, the router had lost all it's settings. I resetup the router with the same network name and WPA key etc. Now I cannot establish a wireless link from my laptop to the router. I can plug in the usb cable directly and connect to the internet. All other pcs in the house are fine.
What I see is that momentarily the wireless link is established with excellent connectivity but then it drops saying it's trying to acquire a network address and provides me with a list of wireless networks that I could connect to, mine being in the list. On my laptop, I have re-entered the wireless network name and retyped the WPA key to authenticate but am still not able to connect.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks ahead,
Nikki
