Do a hard reset and then try again and see if that helps. Hard reset is holding the pinhole on the back with a paper clip for 30 seconds while it's on, but you'll have to reconfigure it (i.e. change it to the ssid and password that you want).

Wanted to change ssid name to "virus.exe", that wouldn't work for some reason. Your reset suggestion worked, however at that point no connection wired nor wireless. Just changed back to PoliceVan, back to having wired and wireless. Any ideas why it wouldn't accept virus.exe for a name? Thanks
