It's snowing. Again. I guess that should be changed to read, "Still." As it in is always snowing, and it will continue to do so for the rest of our natural lives ( Read more... )

So, I'll need to walk you through setting up the router over the phone; beforehand, I need to know:

A) What error messages you're getting - what response you're getting when you try to connect

2) What your network settings are (look in your network connections and copy the information)

III) What the router's wireless settings are currently, if possible.

Four) What you've tried so far.

'Kay. Hang in there, you're not dying of cancer.

I'm not getting any error messages. I can connect to the network, but not the internet. When it connects to the network, it connects with local access and limited connectivity. No web site can be displayed as I'm not actually online... but it shows that I am ( ... )

AT&T's Technical Support is neither. Ya know what test those guys take to get that job? It's two pages and about 20 questions - it starts off with images of the different parts of a system and one has to label the monitor, mouse, keypad, etcetera. The toughest question, at the end, was something along the lines of "How do you install a new program?" - and all questions were multiple choice. (I swindled the contractor for AT&T/SBC/Sprint - they all had the same outsource client for tech support - for my A+ training; the program was canceled right after my class got through ( ... )

Yeah the tech guy was... um... yeah. In fact, he irritated me more than the actual problem had.

I'll try that later today when I get off work. Is this the sort of thing that will be easy to change back? Or rather... more importantly, will I still be able to connect to other networks that aren't WPA or WEP in the future if I make these changes? Yeah... ok, I just answered my question... if I just follow the steps and turn things back on and whatnot, I should be able to fix it myself. But still, more importantly, will this affect how I connect to other networks?

And, as far I know, I've never actually connected with a WPA or WEP network.
