First of all, I'm very bad with computers. All of my wireless connections are
now locked(they were working fine yesterday)including linkys. My internet has
never been really fast, but now it's gone. How can I unlock the connections
again?
We need more info to be able to help you further if the below didn't help!
You may have to update the Router Firmware.
Try this:
= Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Double
click Network connections, then right your LAN Icon and select Properties.
On the LAN properties under General make sure the Internet Protocol TCP/IP
is selected and click Properties.
There make sure the Machine Get assigned Automatically IP address and Renter
the Encryption Key and the Network SSID then click
[OK].
= Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced.
Click on Connections tab and make sure the Connection is listed there then
click on LAN settings button and uncheck Automatically detect settings.
Click [OK] and close Hit F5 and open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if you can access the Internet?
Turn OFF the Router and wait for a minute or so and also the PCs then Turn
ON the Router and wait for a minute for it to sysnc and get the IP address
then Turn the PCs ON and try the connection, any joy?
