It seems like you are experiencing connectivity issues with your Samsung N140 notebook running Windows 7 Starter Edition, where you are getting a "limited access" or "unidentified network" message when trying to connect to your Wi-Fi network. This issue could be related to various factors such as network settings, drivers, or compatibility issues. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1.
Restart Your Devices: - Restart your Samsung N140 notebook and Draytek Vigor 2800 modem. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix connectivity problems. 2.
Check Wi-Fi Adapter Settings: - Make sure that the Wi-Fi adapter on your Samsung N140 is enabled and functioning correctly. You can check this in the Device Manager. - Update the Wi-Fi adapter driver to the latest version from Samsung's official website or the manufacturer's website. 3.
Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi Network: - Forget the Wi-Fi network on your Samsung N140 and then reconnect by entering the password. - Make sure the Wi-Fi network credentials (SSID and password) are correct. 4.
Reset TCP/IP Stack: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Type the following commands and press Enter after each:
Code:
netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew
5.
Set Static IP Address: - Configure your Wi-Fi adapter to use a static IP address instead of obtaining one automatically (APIPA). - Go to Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on Wi-Fi adapter > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Use the following IP address. 6.
Update Firmware: - Check if there are any firmware updates available for your Draytek Vigor 2800 modem. Updating firmware can sometimes resolve compatibility issues. 7.
Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings: - Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software to see if they are blocking the connection. 8.
Reset Network Settings: - Reset network settings on your Samsung N140 by going to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on Wi-Fi adapter > Disable > Enable. If after trying these steps, you still face the issue, it might be helpful to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Samsung support for further assistance. They may provide more specific guidance based on your setup and network configuration. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on any of these steps!
