[ Computer Networking ] Open Question : One of my laptop cannot see any wireless network?
Hello,
I’m using one laptop(Toshiba Satellite) and one router(Linksys WRT54G). This is good. This doesn’t have any problem.
Today I purchased one more router(NETGEAR WGR614 v7) for my friend and tested it with his laptop which is Acer Aspire 3000.
The problem is that his laptop cannot see any wireless network. That is, the wireless network connection window in his laptop doesn’t show any network(My network and his new network).
But my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) can see my network and the network provided by this new router too.
His laptop has a right driver (Broadcom Wireless LAN 802.11b+g v3.100.46.0) which is provided and recommended by Acer Support Website.
To test more I got two more laptops which were used by his childrens and tested them. But the situation was same.
They cannot see my network(Linksys) and his new network(NETGEAR).
His children were using the non-secure wireless network of one of their neighbors so far and had no problem.
So I’m assuming their laptops are compatible to some router and not compatible to some router. But my laptop is compatible to all kind of routers
I want to make their laptops see their new router at least.
Could you give me any advices and if possible the solution?
Thanks,
