[Elecraft] Wireless SNAFU

[Nidge (Nigel Smith)]

Hi Cary

Check to see if your router has an accelorator enabled, such as 802.11n 
which
your new Compaq can accomodate but unfortunately your older Dell and
Macbook may not have the facility. If you are comfortable at accessing the 
settings
of your router select 802.11g and see if your Dell and Macbook resolve the 
network.

Also check that, if using encryption, that you have the correct passphrase / 
key
in all the two machines.

Hopefully others will respond with other possible remedies.

Regards

Elecraft List Readers:
I bought a new PC to manage my home wireless network, along with a new
Verizon modem/wireless router - lighting took the old ones out
earlier this week but not my K3 and K2 and other radio equipment.
The new Compaq is much faster than the old computer and runs Windows
7. The wireless is working and I can connect to the internet from the
new computer but neither my XYL's MacBook or my HP/laptop can connect
to the wireelss system. The Geek Squad at BestBuy wasn't much help,
saying only" it happens with Window 7 and the best way to resolve it
is with a home visit"... starting at $149.95!
I have been to the control panel to trouble shoot the "network and
internet" connection but it's unable to diagnose any problem.
Have any of you experienced a similar problem and , if so, how were
you able to resolve it?
