Weird wifi situation

[DavidBailey]

Have you contacted your ISP ?

That video shows how to do a dial up connection which I know how to do from years ago. Is a person posting for help in here supposed to remember & post EVERYthing they have tried? Hope not.

A Broadband Connection actually.

Hi No! But it helps to post the things you have tried so those making suggestions don't post the things you already tried

The OP's issue is a WiFi connection to his existing router - - not an ISP connection.

I've reset the router, ipad is online. Does XP Pro have built in wifi? Not laptop, desktop.?

I never said it was.
An ISP will help with other problems.
They have me.
Sometimes free, sometimes not.

@jobeard @holdum323 @DavidBailey thanks for the help/input. Its online but not on the router I want it on. Maybe a miracle will happen & ????????????????????????

Hi your welcome friend!

As a variation of Forget and Recreate -- ALTER the SSID --- add a suffix and alter the password too.
The mobile devices are highly likely to connect to the new SSID and XP will get a fresh look at available networks.

A Broadband Connection actually

Hi I think we all tried to help @learninmypc . He thanked everyone. I'm sure he will get his issue solved. Maybe it's time to move on.

Going back to post #27 & going thru the ENTIRE video, I get dial up type box Clicking connect on it,it says "Connecting thru WAN Miniport (PPPOE) & so on. I'm giving up on it for now.

That's obviously an attempt for a ISP, not WiFi connection.

 

[learninmypc]

Thank you

Btw: Hav you gone into WiFi speakers?

The publication recently highlighted connectivity issues experienced by some users when adding a Google Home Max smart speaker to their wireless network. The issue is especially prevalent among TP-Link Archer C7 router owners according to the Google Product Forums and has been identified by TP-Link as an issue with MDNS packets keeping a live connection with Cast devices.​

 

[learninmypc]

Wifi Speakers? Off the top of my head I'll say no. This pc has no speakers/sound card. Hope thats not off topic.

@jobeard PROBLEM solved. due to the extremely small font used to print the password on the label on the router, I couldn't CLEARLY see the password till I used my magnifying glass, inserted PROPER password & am online with remote router
