Bt Infinity Wireless

Just had it installed & cant connect to my laptop via wireless its sees the wireless point but when i try to connect i cant nothing happens, getinging 2 messages on my laptop now local area connection is disabled wireless network connection 2 is disabled. not sure how to fix this as it was working ok yesterday.

Go to start button (bottom left I guess) then control panel, and Hardware and sound.
(is on windows 7), Xp will be similar. Need to find Device manager. open that and find Network adapters and there will be the name or manufacture of the wirless card and network card. Broadcom ethernet and intel WIFI on mine, depends on who makes it.

Right click one at a time and click enablle if they got a small downwards arrow in the little logo thing at the start of its name. sounds windows has disabled.
Might be more to it than enabling. A reinstall of the drivers might be needed if it keeps playing up.

Have you had the wireless going on the HH3 before. password is on the pull out card on the back. Easy and proberly saying what you know!.

do the device manager thing first.

Also try disabling wireless N mode on the HH3.

If that fixes it, then look for new drivers for the machines wireless card, and try fiddling with the settings.

Thanks for that got fed up trying to get it going so im going to copy all my files to external hd n do a system repair or restore what ever its meant to be, thanks again will let you know how i get on.

Better than starting again. Holrrible job I used to do until I found out about norton Ghost.

A bit extreme!.

windows is dseigned to annoy. Mine does, always not responding and geiing it going from turning on and settling down. About 4 minutes. Horrible 2 year old thing.

Hope it all works but reinstalling the card first would be the easier bet I would have tnought.

I don't think it will be anything to do with your system, just the logon details for the wireless are not what you are using.

A different Home Hub? Will have a different wireless security password, and maybe the encryption type as well.

dont think its the logon details as i tried my phone on wireless while engineer was here with details from the HH & it worked straight away so i think ts my laptop, ill try to connect with my xbox later on wireless after i finish moveing my files from my laptop, if my xbox connects with wireless dosnt that mean it was my laptop.
