Why doesn't it find my connection

You should tell us the model of your edimax wireless adapter and your wifi card's model too, then we might be able to help, but you should have asked
>>Sup Forums
What's your ISP? Telstra? (inb4 "ISP? What for?")
Evan Price
Iprimus and the edimax is an EW-7811USC
Leo Nguyen
Try turning it off and on again mate.
Andrew Reyes
maybe your network is "hidden"
do you know your SSID?
if yes, try to connect to hidden network ("Other network" in your menu ) -> enter SSID manually -> connect
Julian Baker
what is your "wifi" anyway, is it just some dongle or "wifi router"? if you want to use internet from many devices you usually need router
Luis Clark
It's definitely the other network because vs the rest the connection is excellent but I just tried to connect and it says unable to connect
Jeremiah Diaz
this is router btw
Michael Nelson
I have a router that is what I want to connect to from my bedroom I have bought two different wifi adapters now and both haven't found my connection
Grayson Hughes
Can you use a wifi quality checker software like WifiInfoView to see if your network is listed but have a bad signal?
You can check if the radio modes a and c are enabled in your router and change for a less busy channel.
Luis Lewis
do you remember your old wifi "connection name" (like in that image, something like Telstraa44A893)? its the same as SSID in windows iirc
try enter it MANUALLY because it could be just hidden, you will not see it in the list if its hidden
Gavin Stewart
Can I use anything computer to check that I'll use my main one cheers

I'll assume you're already using your home wifi on your phone, so the signal should be good enough.
Your adapter obviously works since it lists wifi networks.
Do what said.
If it's not listed in "other networks", open the "network center" and add a new network. Set your network's name and password and it'll find it for you.

>Sup Forums actually being helpful. Sup Forums would have already told you to Install Gentoo by now. lol
Nolan Morgan
Sorry for late reply but I did what yous said added it but still nothing to connect to I added it under wireless networks
Brody Wilson
next steps are complex tb h, you will need at least to work with your router's settings and you can break everything including current setup
if you want to, try to find ip address of your router (its in docs, but usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1), enter this address in your browser, then if it opens, enter login/password (usually admin/admin or similar)

Okay I'm in
Jaxon Taylor
you entered the web interface?

well, first check (i think its in security page) the "mac address bindings" or "mac security", or "mac address filter" something like this, disable all of it
if its enabled your router will only work only with "known" devices, it will not "see" any other
Jaxson Long
Okay maybe I figured out the problem I'm not sure but there is no 802.11ac but I think the wireless adapter I bought is 11ac
Elijah Mitchell
What state, senpai?
Julian Lewis
Queensland
Robert Anderson
Oh that explains it then

>Complies with draft IEEE 802.11ac standard and backward compatible with wireless 802.11a/b/g/n standards
it should work with this settings, but you can try b/g mixed

It works my connection works hey thanks so much for your help I get payed tomorrow if you have an email or steam is there any game I can buy you?
Dylan Ramirez
its hard to find, its generic options, but your router may or may not have it
in general disable as much security as you can for debugging, but don't change the passphrase cypher (should be WPA2)
Wyatt Wright
no thanks, i don't even have steam account
Tyler Bailey
Thanks so much is there anything you like or want?
Juan Parker
no, thanks again, im glad its working
Levi Williams
