My Wireless Network Doesn't show up!?

Hi guys, basically my wireless network will not show up on my either of my laptops or desktop computer. I have been using this linksys router for over a year with no problems but 2day I went to connect as I do everyday, only to find my wireless network is not in the list. So the first thing I do is restart it, unfortunately that doesn't work so I am stuck with things on what to do. I know that the router is working because I can play xbox live through it on my xbox. The lights on the front indicate that its receiving the ethanet and internet but it still doesn't seem to omit my wireless network!! My wireless adapters in both my laptops are 100% fine as I can pick up other people's networks in my street.





You may want to take into consideration that last night I had a power cut which happened whilst the router was on, could this make a difference?








Thanks in advance.

Instead of just re-starting the router, try re-booting it (there should usually be a small hole on the back to access a micro, and I mean micro, switch), that will return it to its factory settings.


An easier option, if the router lets you - sometimes when they're being awkward they don't, connect to the router via the ethernet from one of your laptops, and go into the router set-up page, (usually http://192.168.2.1/ ) through your browser, check whether all the settings are as they should be, if not, change them, or opt for restore to factory default setting, and start again.





Hope I've been of some help
Reply:Get on your routers setup page, type in, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 into your brower and there should be a place that says "hide SSID" and make sure it is unchecked. Its happened to me before and that was the problem.
Reply:well this happens to me quite a bit with all the laptops in the household but it just happens to just blow over for me... but all i do is unplug the router then plug it back in, wait a few minutes then im surfin
Reply:Try to restart the router as well... if not works, try to re install it in ur laptop, meaning u have to delete all the network connection and re-find it.... else u have to contact the service center
Reply:Hiya,


Right mate restart your router if that doesn't make things better then call the router company if its under warranty then theyll replace it then things should be fine








OR








If not under warranty then you will have to buy a new one











Good Luck
