Wireless is blinking

Not sure why that is blinking, I can only see ON/OFF
I suggest you log back into the router take a look and note the settings
and reset the router back to factory condition - reset button on back
then log backin and setup the router ..

Very weird! My internet is working now. I have no idea why? I didn't try anything different. Just turned on the computer and clicked on router name and it works! I wonder if I make my router secure again if it'll mess anything up.

So did you take off the wireless secruity on the router?
Is the WLAN light blinking still

[jo060]

I took security off, but I did that earlier when you told me to try it, but it didn't seem to help.

well, you may want to put the secruity back on - but I would allow it work for a while - so you know everything is OK

then try adding secruity and see what happens, if you cannot connect with security on
Try different levels WEP - WPA
and also change channels 1 or 6 or 11
Note cordless phones can cause problems with secruity, changing channels often resolves the issue

Yup. The WLAN light is still blinking.
The channel is on 11 now, so I should try another channel?

[etaf]

did you change the channels to 11 or was that how it was already set?
if you have not change you could try changing it, I not sure why the WLAN is blinking......... it should be ON or OFF according to the manual

[jo060]

It was already set to 11.
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Is the WLAN the light that looks like an antenna?

[etaf]

have a look at the link I provided for the Manual - it shows the lights on the router and the status they should be in

Page 2-6

I'm going to try turning the security back on. Which would be my best option to choose?
WEP
WPA-PSK [TKIP]
WPA2-PSK [AES]
or
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]?

[TerryNet]

Best is WPA2-PSK [AES] if everything supports it.
WEP is least good.

[jo060]

I used AES, and so far so good. Very weird, I wonder why it didn't work for a few days?
Thanks for the help!!
