it finds and connects but doesnt work

rossy617 · 10-02-2008, 20:45

This has happened on my dads computer and on my psp. It connects and says its connected, with 100% signal, but it doesnt let us on the internet.

The router is sweex LW055 and the hardwired(im not sure on terminology lol) connection works fine for mine and my dads computer, its just the wireless that seems broke or unconfigured, im not quite sure.

Any help would be excelent. Ill post more information if you need it.

Thanks
Ross

new info, i dont know if this will be useful.

It looks like you've enabled WEP security on the wireless. Make sure the password on your devices matches that on your router.

I think these are the defaults:

Username: sweex

Did you know there is already a Sweex LW055 thread on this forum? http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/87...ss-router.html
