    On to the Linksys E3000 from WND3700

    I had earlier posted a thread about my problems connecting a HP laptop G50 ( b/g ) to the WNDR3700 using its WPA or WPA2 (AES) encryption - although it did so without encryption. This is my initial experience with the E3000 which replaced the 3700. Briefly, I was very much relieved with the...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    Thank you Mr. Higgins and dishinit. Vista provides WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. I believe each of them is available in either AES or TKIP. I tried WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES), all the time making sure that the settings on the laptop and the router are in sync. I was able to do this because my...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    Hi Tipstir: that sounds like the answer - but I've gone through the web pages on the router and, for the life of me, I cannot see anywhere to set up mix mode. I thought this was done automatically during handshake with pc. I did try lowering the throughput to 54 Mbps without any effect. How do I...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    I have the answer but no explanation. The HP G50 did not connect because its Atheros WiFi is g only. When I turned the laptop's internal WiFi off and attached a USB N adapter it was able to connect with the WNDR3700 with WPA(AES) encryption. My other HP laptop - the dv9700 was able to connect...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    Hi Tipstir: Since this is the 2nd WNDR3700, this problem obviously is consistent! And I just read a post somewhere by Mr Higgins saying not to bother with N just to increase range. Apparently all it does is increase throughput. I got this new router to improve the recption in my house (basement...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    Problem connecting HPG50 with WNDR3700 Hi and thanks. Oh yes, the old linksys is packed away. In fact, this problem is happening with the "second" WNDR3700 I've brought home. I returned the first one. Yes, I first did all the setup with ethernet cable - including the SSID. I first setup without...

    WNDR3700 will not connect with HP G50 using encryption

    Hi, in desperation I'm trying to find out what else I can do to solve this irritating problem. Briefly, I was replacing my WRT54GS with WNDR3700 to get increased range. No problem with setup and using ethernet. But a very unusual problem with wireless. I have two HP laptops. A G50 (with Atheros...
