  1. Why does my PC not connect to or has poor connection with wifi while laptop and phones are...


    Not me but my friend got a new PC because his old one got a problem with getting a good connection to wifi. His laptop and phone connect to and have a strong connection without hassle but his pc either doesn't connect or if it does its a couple hundred kbs and because you need a connection to set up windows he can't even do that so no looking at network settings or posting for help here hence why I am doing it.He has tried putting the antenna's in and out and has moved the pc around to make sure not in a dead spot. It is a brand new pc with what seems to be the same problem as with his old one

  2. Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    My Nokia Lumia 520 never had any connection problems, but today it won't connect not even when I press the WPS button on the modem or type the wifi password. I get the message:

    ''The Wifi network didn't respond, try again later''.

    Wifi is working fine on all other devices (pc, laptop, tablet and other phones) so I'm guessing it's a phone issue? Phone's wifi was working fine yesterday.

    using mob phone connected to i/net via public wifi to connect laptop


    Hi, recently purchased new laptop with windows 10 installed. I currently use public/open wifi connection to connect to the internet for non private surfing (private matters dealt with via payg dongle). However, this open wifi connection can be erratic (whereas previous laptop running windows 7 connected as and when requested). Once connected, it is faultless and speedy enough for my needs. I have also marked this connection as ‘automatic’.
    I know that it is not the signal strength, it is simply the initial connection, with which my new laptop seems to struggle with! My screen shows all available networks so is picking up all correct signals. When I click ‘connect’ it will go through the motions for approx 2-3 seconds and then say ‘unable to connect to this network’ and other times, it will say ‘connecting’ and will go through these motions, and will continue to say ‘connecting’ for 15 minutes and longer or until I get sick of waiting!
    On the occasions when it does finally ‘connect’, it will begin with a message in the ‘action centre’ saying ‘click on message to connect to open wifi’-it will then go to the open/public wifi homepage and connect-from thereon, I am fine.
    Why won’t my laptop connect as easily to open wifi as last machine did on windows 7, and why does it continually say ‘unable to connect to internet’ or remain in ‘connecting’ mode?
    A further query I have (apologies) is when my laptop refuses to connect to internet as above, my mobile phone connects to the open wifi easily so I certainly know that it is not the distance that is in question, or the strength of signal-bearing this in mind, is it possible to connect my laptop and mobile phone via usb and possible to use my phone when it is connected to the open wifi source to connect my laptop to internet via this route? If so, would somebody give me step by step instructions to connect this way, please. The phone I currently have is a 3g sony xperia mini pro (which I am sure you can gather I have had for few years now!)
    Many thanks for all replies and all assistance is gratefully received.

    Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    Still haven't solved this issue which cropped all out of a sudden.

    My ISP router is a
    Technicolor TG589vn v3

    It's precisely the same brand and model of the router we have at work and which works fine.

    One fine day my phone was OK with both (identical routers). Then another fine day the phone decided to ignore my router. Or the router decided to ignore my phone. And it's remained that way since the 8th Feb when I started this thread.

    I've been using this phone for over a year with no connectivity problems. Then as from the 8th Feb, it or my modem refuse to communicate. My modem still connects without any problems with my pc, daughter's laptop, my laptop, another pc, two other phones and a tablet (I even had them connected all at the same time to test).

    And the phone still connects to any wifi available, just not our home wifi. Whenever I try the home wifi I get the message ''The Wifi network didn't respond, try again later''.
    Then as soon as I park the car outside work the phone starts beeping like mad with all the notifications :/
