well i just bought a new router cuz my old one was like totally restricting the speed of my households internet lol.

so this morning i set it up and everything i connected with my laptop and it was literally 10x faster lol so was like WOOHOOOO

but then my sister's laptop couldn't connect to the wireless coneccction at all

anyone know whats the problem?

her computer is running XP. when trying to connect an error message comes up saying "
the network is no longer in range, [please check connection (something like that)" and her laptop is right in the room where the router is situated. i have to go out for lunch now but if you need mroe info i will post again later.

the router we're using is a Netgear WNR2000.

o.o thanks in advance.

specs of router: "IEEE 802.11n draft version 2.0, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, 2.4 GHz "

so has N G and B . wahts the problem now?

can YOU connect to it? Your router settings are probably made so that you have to manually type in the network name and password. Either that or you didnt turn wireless on-_-

check for static ip, sometimes that goes wack.

Also check in the router settings to see how its distributing the ips.

If you're sure name/password etc. is all correct, check which channel your router is operating on. If it is in the 5.x GHz range and your sister's laptop does not support 802.11n (likely) or 802.11a (quite possible--802.11g was much more popular), then the laptop won't be able to detect or use your router's signal at all. You would just need to force it to use a channel in the 2.4 GHz range.

the laptop might not support a/b/g/n or whatever wireless type you're using. probably N if it's new.

Are you using encryption now? Have you tried setting it up unencrypted to make sure that wasn't the issue (some older adapters might not support some WPA, for example)?

Have you tried manually adding in the network config to her laptop's list? i.e. go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Wireless > Wireless Networks tab > Add button
