Wireless signal isn't detected by two laptops!?
Ok, this is a rather confusing and possibly complex problem. I recently bought a new router in Japan, a PCi MZK-WG300FF14 (Final Fantasy 14 router… it was the cheapest lol) It is a regular router, four wired hook ups and wireless 300mbps. However, while I can set up, detect, and connect to the wireless with my Ps3 and iPod Touch for some reason my laptops do NOT detect the signal! I’ve tried everything I can possibly think of. There seems to be no limit for the connections that is causing a problem, I thought maybe it was the security settings but Zone Alarm and the basic firewall don’t seem to be a problem and I’ve turned them off. (Security is set to WPA)
I’m going nuts here, I’ve been trying for a week to get this working and I’m running out of ideas. What on earth is the issue? (I DO know how to turn on and off my wireless card on my computer, that isn’t the issue. I can connect to the neighbor’s wireless no problem, but I can’t even detect my router’s.)
Huge points to anyone who actually can help me solve this nightmare.
Laptop is relatively new, two years ago. Hiiiiighly unlikely that is a problem. Trying to reset it with the reset button but that doesn’t seem to work. I’ve unplugged and replugged it countless times though.
Of course it is broadcasted, I connected to two other devices I mentioned in the original post. Ipod touch and PS3
