Wireless problems with BT home hub.

[Fletcher]

As above. Atm i cannot seem to get a wireless internet connection on my HP laptop

Any ideas why?

Have you tried rebooting the modem?

Can you see the signal being broadcast or not?

 

[Fletcher]

I've not tried rebooting the modem yet.

Yes the home hub [all the lights are on] and laptop are both displaying a signal.

My BT home hub would connect but kept dropping out every 5 mins. I've changed to a linksys hub and it's been fine ever since.

Thats what really pisses me off, the wireless signal seems to come and go.

Ive seen this before

Some devices just cant keep a constant wireless signal

Reboot should sort it though

You gettin limited or no connectivity error? Check you entered the correct key. There's 2 on the back. Make sure you havn't entered the fusion key.

Also. Try connecting via ethernet cable. Open this webpage http://api.home/ and go to advanced, continue to advanced. You'll then get prompted for username and password. Which is admin, admin. Go to wireless then configure. Select channel selection to manual and then change the channel to 11. Click apply. 11 is a much better channel for your laptop.

I hate to say it but the bt homehub is a pretty decent router. The bt vision box however is tosh.

I have a home hub and its awful. It falls over constantly if you use Bit Torrent.

funny you should say that, been trying a bit of rapidshare recently and staying off the torrents and its been up for a week now whereas it didn't use to last more than a day without rebooting or freezing so you might have something there.

Just been to my Aunts house and she has one of these homehubs, she has an advent laptop but it just won't connect wirelessly, My cousin has a dell and has the same issue. I bought her laptop here and it connected to mine straight away with no issues.

Sometimes it picks it up sometimes it doesn't like the first post on here. I rebooted and reset the hub twice and its made no odds. If i connect wired it works perfect. I even get to the password screen but it just won't accept the password.

Anyone got any ideas?
