Penangkaki Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I have a ZyXEL wireless router from True. How can i get it to connect to my laptop? My laptop can see it but cannot get connected. When i connect them using an ethernet cable they work fine. Very much appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Looks like you need to type in the pass key you have set in your wireless router security. Without it it won't connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 are you getting a prompt to insert your password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penangkaki Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm not getting a prompt to insert my password. Tried calling True call center but got a message to leave my number so that they can call me back within 24hrs..........still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalhort Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 When connected via cable, have you tried to change the WiFi settings in your router? Try to unprotect the WiFi temporarily to see if it works or you may have to enter the MAC number of the laptop as an allowed equipment to access the router. Not sure how this is done on your router but there are ways. The router address is probably something like http://192.168.1.1 opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Don't know what Notebook brand you have or how old your notebook is. Be aware older models can not connect to the newer security mode i.e. WPA or WPA2 If the wireless adapter in your notebook can only catch WEP than you must set your router to WEP Opalhort is right. Xyxel IP is 192.168.1.1 and the pw is 1234 (in case you must reset the router) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
