Hello,
I have just bought a new wireless router, a NetComm NB504.
I plugged it in and went through the setup. Out of the box it has no form of security / password.
I connected it to my LAN, it gave out a 100% strong signal and my laptop was able to connect to it and start using the net instantly.
I then logged into the router to assign a WEP password. All worked fine till I hit 'save changes'.. 2 seconds later my laptop stopped all connectivity.
The signal is still there, it is still 100% strength. It is like my laptop will not even get to the first step of allowing me to put in the WEP. When I try to connect to the wifi router it attempts this for about 20 seconds then says it cannot connect and to 'trouble shoot' the problem.
The second problem is, I now cannot even log into the router via the numerical 'website' you use to remove or fool around with the security settings.
I used the wifi feature on my mobile phone, connected to the network, entered the password I had just assigned to the router and surfed the net.
I did try to log into the router via my mobile, but the side menu and check boxes / drop down menus do not work and I can go to the security page, but cannot make and save the changes needed.
Any ideas?? This is very annoying and not what I have expected with a new Windows 7 system.
The machine is a Acer laptop.
Thank you,
