Yeah, I know that I mentioned that I will do away from technical stuff but from this day on forth I will post one or two tech info each month. Well, hopefully this will help bring down the call volume for DSL tech support centers out there. Or probably not. Haha!
Alright, Limited or No Connectivity issues for wireless on WinXP computers are mostly the common issues that we, Technical Support Reps receive on a daily basis. So, what triggers that error? It's down to four factors:
- wireless key or type mismatch
- wireless interference
- wireless adapter driver issue
- gateway/router
How to resolve Wireless Limited or No Connectivity issue for WinXP. Follow the steps in order:
1. Check if the wireless password you're using is correct. Check also if the wireless type on the router is set to WEP key or not. If it's set to WPA, then, I suggest you change that to WEP encryption.
2. Change your wireless channel. Go for channel 9 or 11. Or try to tweak the channel until you get it.
3. Disable/Reenable the wireless driver. You can find that under Device Manager / Network Adapter's list.
4. Powercycle (turn off/on) your gateway/router. Last resort is reset but only do that if you have only one device connecting wireless or all your devices are failing to connect wireless.
If the steps are not clear or you'd want a step-by-step instructions, feel free to drop a comment.
Closing Spiel: Again, this is Yallit and thank you for visiting. Have a Nice Day!
