| Wi-fi Help.
Hey Guys,
Tried to the best of my knowledge using google and what not and i was unable to get anything to work, was wondering if you guys might know something about this.
First off i have a Linksys WRT120N as my router. At first i thought it was only my samsung galaxy tablet that wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. After several hours of searching on the internet, i decided to use my Blackberry to try to connect to the Wi-Fi and even that wouldn't work. Anybody experience this problem before or know a fix for it.

power cycling is a good place to start. can your wired connections (IE a computer) connect to the internet?

power cycle first, if that doesnt work do a hard reset of the router.

DNS...
Anyways what IP was assigned to your device? Does wired work? Is it even plugged to the modem? Posted via RS Mobile | |

yeah all the wired connections work including my ps3 and cpu, just the wi-fi isn't. What do you mean by power cycling? if you mean disconnecting the internet and replugging all the wires i have tried that and still the same problem. Im assuming hard reset on the router is a button i can press?
My Wi-Fi tab would keep showing up as "connecting...scanning....connecting..scanning " back and forth but never says "obtaining ip address".
Thanks again guys

you can try to reset your router to factory default and reapply the settings

Linksys WRT120N .. I'm judging by the name that its a wireless N router. Most tablets should be able to work on wireless N but I have a fairly new wireless printer + 2 laptops that cannot find my wifi when I have it set to wireless N only. Try to set it to a mixed G/N signal.
Only drawback to a mixed signal is that usually the wireless N devices get poorer quality signal -- in your case this isn't relevant as you have no other wireless devices on wireless N.
