First the facts.
Actiontec 704-WG Router Toshiba Laptop Satellite A135 Vista Basic with all updates Atheros ARS5--7EG Wireless Network Adapter
Now the problem I keep getting the message "Connected with limited access"
This laptop has worked all over the US wirelessly with no problem. Now I would like it to work at home about 10 foot from the router.
I have unplugged the Microwave. Unplugged the cordless phone. Verified the the Adapter is working OK Tried using a Flash Drive to input the correct settings. Waited 1 hours for it to catch up/ Reset the Actiontec Router Tried all sorts of suggestions from all over the Net. Nothings works.
Positive:
Works fine when using an ethernet cable. Other laptop maybe 25 foot away works fine Hardwired desktop works fine.
One strange thing. I printed out the Wireless network setting."
It shows the network Key (WEP/WPA Key) as a 26 digit/letter combination. I tried entering a passphrase that I wrote down when I set up this network. \\that does not get me anywhere.
Notes when I attempt to conect.
Name: ACTIONTEC Signat Strength: Excellent Security Tyoe: WEP Radio Type: 802.11g SSID: Actiontec.
There are other wireless setups in my neighborhood which I see on the list but naturally they are all passwork protected and none have the name ACTIONTEC
I have tried all the suggestions shown in Network and Sharing Center More details
Networkd Discovery ON File Sharing ON Public Folder Sharing (read only) ON Printer sharing OFF Password Protected sharing OFF Media sharing OFF I am using Norton 360 and Windows Firewall and don't seem to have any virus with them
Questions;
Would electronics like microwave and cordless phone 30 foot away=neighbors affect this setup?
If I as the Owner of this Network reset the router Pasword will it affect my other laptop which works fine now?
Would a cordless mouse 25 foot away affect this laptop.
Thank You Anne Watson
