wifi

The desktop doesnt send out wifi it all comes from the router turning wifi on at the desktop just means it can then recieve wifi it doesnt effect any other device

 

Wifi not turning on.

Wifi not turning on . there is a red cross sign in front of wifi icon on task bar . I checked the wifi is enabled ( by right clicking on wifi icon in internet and network menu/option )

When I go to network settings and try to turn on the wifi ..the wifi slides on but doesn't stay on and slides back to off position .

IMPORTANT - I END (stopped/endtask) SOME NETWORK/WIFI RELATED PROCESSES IN TASK MANAGER ..I AM NOT SURE..BUT I THINK AFTER THAT I STARTED FACING THESE WIFI RELATED ISSUES


TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS DONE

• As already mentioned checked whether wifi is enabled or not by right clicking on wifi option in internet and network menu .
• checked drivers . they are upto date .
• In wifi properties ---->configure---->advanced ----> tried to change property to 802.11n bandwith 20 mhz only but it reverts back to 802.11b preamble long only.. once the tab is closed .
• Checked the dell wireless device 1703 802.11b/g/n ( 2.4 GHZ) is working properly by clicking on general option .
• checked services like tcp/ip net bios helper , wlan autoconfig ,windows connection manager all 3 are running

I am at my wits end as to how to fix this issue . please not that I am not a new windows 10 user and have had windows for some time now and never faced any issue.

Please tell me how to turn the wifi on but before that do read all the troubleshooting steps i have done to avoid duplication of efforts .

THANKS

 

At my wits end with WiFi

I did the sme, with the WAP, i disabled DHCP, and assigned a static IP (192.168.1.2), the adsl router already has a static ip set. i followed th guide here: Wireless access point - DD-WRT Wiki to a T, both with and without the reccommended/optional steps.

Still no joy, and i still can't get my desktop to see the wifi router, wth default settings and a direct connection. My laptop views the wifi router fine, with default settings.

Ok i figured i missed a step when changing to the DD-WRT firmware. I didn;t upgrade to the latest version. i'm doing that now, and i'll try to set it up again.
