NightHawk_yb Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 When I try to set up a wireless network and I have to type the name of the networkname(SSID) it says I have typed one or more wrong symbols but I just enterd normal network names like "test" or something like that :sWhat should I do?P.S. I'm Belgian and my spelling might not be correct Greetings,NightHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 You need to set the SSID of your wireless network on your router. At a computer that has a wired connection to the router, access the administration page and change the SSID to something unique (not the default setting). This is usually found under the wireless options page.When you set up the network in Windows, you need to match this SSID when it prompts you for it.Can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing?

horaz Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Why not try using a program called "Network Stumbler" I think this help much to know SSID, Signal Strengh, MAC Address, ETC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Net stumbler is useful for that, but if he hasn't edited the SSID he should change it to something unique instead of the deafult. As well as setup WEP, dhcp, filter... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
