Devices Not Connecting To 2.4ghz
This seems to be a common issue from my searching however, I have yet to find a solution. It's been over a week that I have not been able to connect to my 2.4ghz frequency on my router. The only time...
TeeMoney Did you try to reset the router? If you have not, kindly do so and let us know if that helped.
in resetting the router, you need to push the reset button for 20 seconds. Once done, reconfigure the router to get the connection back.
By the way, make sure that the power light will be solidly lit before reconfiguring it.
Let us know what happens.
many older single band wifi devices only support WPA-PSK [TKIP] try WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
I tried what you suggested with using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. I get a message box saying: that [TKIP] only operates at 54mbps and I should consider using [AES]. Even if I click OK on the message and try to apply my changes it reverts back to WPA2-PSK [AES]. When I select to use WPA2-PSK [TKIP] it tells me that WPS can not work with this feature but it still reverts back to WPA2-PSK [AES]. That's definitely weird.
change mode to 54 in wifi setup same location where you change channels
So mode was already set to 54; my channel was at 11; I moved that back auto. I didn't get the pop up but it still reverted back to WPA2-PSK [AES] when I clicked APPLY. I'm beginning to think that maybe my firmware is all jacked up.
In order to get the change to take effect I had to turn off SSID broadcasting. However, the device stillis not connecting.
