My computer has no wireless networks found in range?

The hardware is there in device manager and I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling. I tried switch new antennae and new internal wireless card. Bluetooth is working fine and wireless button is on. I think it is a software problem. Same nc6230 next to it finds five networks. System restore won’t work because the adapter and computer is new and never worked. The last thing I can think of is reinstalling operating system.

maybe the connection to the internal wireless is bad. Did you try an external wireless card (or usb)? It doesn’t seem likely that the OS is having a problem. This sounds like a hardware issue.

I need opinions about the "Kindle" (the new wireless reading device)?

I think this thing is so cool! You can download over 1,000 books or something along with the newspaper, music etc

Now, I want other peoples opinion about the Kindle! Tell me anything!

Personally, I believe this will be the next thing that every college student will have! Instead of buying those 100 dollar or more books and lug them around to class, could you imagine just downloading them on your Kindle for less than half the cost and just carrying that around!?

(if you dont know anything about the Kindle it was created by the guy who created Amazon)

Right now, I have eReader on my iPhone.

I’m not a fan of the Kindle. I already own a lot of e-books, but to put them on the Kindle I’d have to repurchase them through the Amazon service. I think that’s ridiculous. It’s a great concept, but it just isn’t there yet.

I’d love to have an e-book reader, but I’m holding out until there’s one that offers the Kindle’s functionality without trying to rip me off.

Edit: @Wesley B –"Then blame the publishers, not Amazon. Your ire is misplaced.
That’s like blaming Apple because the iPod has a proporietary format. But it also takes mp3s. If they other provider had a proprietary format and didn’t give you a universal mp3, that is their fault, not Apple’s.
The Kindle does take PDF files. So, if the person that sold you the book originally gave you a PDF, the Kindle will take it happily. If the originally seller gave you a proprietary format…well, that’s what "proprietary" means. You can’t blame Amazon for that."

I’m wasn’t talking about proprietary formats. The Kindle’s support of PDF files is still only shaky at best. To convert to the Kindle format, Amazon charges ten cents per conversion, and the conversion quality is still unpredictable. Some files just don’t convert well. The only alternative is to download third party software that I can only run on my Mac with the help of the Windows virtual machine.

I’m not angry about it; I just expect more than experimental support from a device that costs nearly $400 and has such limited functionality.

Can I upgrade my phone 8 days early with Verizon Wireless?

Today I dropped my phone and now the battery wont stay hooked in the phone. I currently have it taped together and still sometimes the battery will shift and the phone shuts off.

I am eligible for a new phone next monday. If I go to the store today, do you think they would let me upgrade early? I mean its only 8 days!

im actually in the verizon store right now. working. you might have to pay like 10 dollars more because it is early. but they’ll still do it for me. I’d do it for you. LOL

Help me buy a new wireless router w/ adapter under $150!?

ATM I have an old wrt54g and it doesn’t cut it any more. I am a gamer and it produces a ton of lag. It also doesn’t carry a signal very far.

Let me describe my needs and maybe you guys can point me in the rite direction.

First off, I need to pick up a router and adapter for $150 or less, that’s my budget!

I live in a city and an apartment with many other routers, wireless phones, cell phones, cell towers, etc etc. So I need a good signal. It has to be able to go through 2 walls with a ton of junk in between them. the router is going to be in the west wing, and adapter is east wing. So it has to transmit a good signal thru all that mess.

These next features are not really needed but they are a bonus.

I would like to stream large video files thru the wireless network. ATM with my wrt54G its not very pleasant. Lots of lag and skipping.

I would like to be able to control the speeds at which the adapter connects to me. I do not want my kids to eat up 99% of the bandwidth with their silly DLs. So I want to limit the sleep at which they are connected to the interwebs.

Also I need a piece of technology that isnt going to harm my gaming experience to bad. I am not playing cutting edge FPS, so I dont need a great ping, but I cant deal with the current 300-3000MS my wrt54g currently give me.

Longevity would be nice, I want something that will last.

Those are pretty much my needs. I need both router and adapter for $150 or less.

I am open to any and all suggestions. I thank you all ahead of time for your answers and thoughts.

First person with a nice router gets the points!

Use the Linksys ones.. they’re always good.. also has good signal and looks cool and is small so you can fit it anywhere. Also, its only like $50.

Booked A Ryanair Trip For Self And Friend. What Do I Do Next?

Do I need to print tickets?
What commands do I give to laptop to print to new wireless printer?
Do I need to do online check in?
What information do I need for this?
Thanks.

God knows but it is bound to cost you , Ryanair will charge you for just about everything , even going to the toilet shortly, so they are hardly a low cost airline as far as i am concerned, there is cheaper and better out there .

Can I set up a new wireless network off a router that is wired from a separate wireless router?

OK here’s the deal. I live in a Duplex. We share our internet with the tenant next door. He has the main connection, and he has his own wireless network and theoretically we should be able to tap into that network. The problem is, is that his router is literally in farthest corner of his side of the house, and we do not get the best connection to his network. Somewhere between 24 mbps and 26 mbps.

ANYWAY.

We tried running a line out of the back of his wireless router, into the attic, over to our side and down into our bedroom. I have it connected to our router and I set up a network for our side. Everything seemed to go right. I can wirelessly connect to the network at a strong 54 mbps. Also, I can connect via a wire through my router (which is also through his router) and I get a strong 100 mbps. The problem is that I cannot connect to the internet through my network.

Is this because the internet signal going into my router has already gone through a router with a different wireless network and has somehow been changed and cannot b re-broadcast? I can’t think of another explaination… Does anyone know what’s going on?

Change your router’s IP address range to something totally different, like 192.168.10.1
Then, change you wireless channel to 1 or 11 instead of the default 6.
It should all work after that.
make sure your WAN port is set to use DHCP, to get an IP and the network info from his router….

New wireless N router problem…?

okay ty for clicking this topic :]

well i have a modem/wirless router thingy from AT&T. its my modem AND my router…. dont know how that works but yea. its one thing. but has both.

so this weekend i bought a wireless N router, DIR-615 from office depot, and i originally have a wireless G adapter.

well i just noticed that my download rate has DRAMATICALLY dropped. for some reason its 25-30 kb/s when i connect to both my original modem AND the wireless N router that i plugged it into. it used to be 500+ kb/s when i was connected to the modem but now its all slow. the internet loading is fine, just downloading is bad…..

so i wanna ask, is this rite? anyone know why this is happening?
ps. the router is rite next to the modem (can this be the problem? since they are both emitting wireless connections)

Take the wireless N router back and buy a Wireless Access Point that uses 802.11N.

You don’t want to have two routers on your network. That will just cause more problem and drive you crazy..

If you were using a wired connection connection previously, then that will always be faster than a wireless connection.

If you were using a wireless connection previously, then I’d say that the addition of a second router to your LAN is causing the problem that you’re seeing.

You want to use a wireless access point (WAP) instead of a wireless router. You don’t need all the additional router overhead just to do wireless-N.

Here’s an example of such a device:
