I have a Dell Latitude running on Windows 7. It cannot detect the wireless networks available within range. It cannot even detect our own network but when I connect it via LAN, it works. But the weird thing is, it works in Safe mode with networking. The wireless switch is on, the driver has been updated, I have already disabled the firewalls. What should I check next?

If a Netgear router does not provide any IP address to any of the computers, is it necessary to put a switch in between the router and the PCs? The PCs are connected via LAN and they do get an IP if directly connected to the modem. Is there something I can do on the router ot make it work?

I have Xfinity router from Comcast and one of its features is the ability to turn the network into a wifi hotspot. Although, one needs to have an Xfinity subscriber login to be able to use the network, some neighbors claimed they were able to get free access to my network. i'm feeling paranoid over this. How do I turn the feature off?

Hello,

Recently, I got new SONY Vaio SVD13223CXB VAIO, Duo 13 Convertible Ultrabook with Windows 8 and I liked it so much.

Everything works fine, but wireless Internet connection is too damn slow. I thought it was because of the Internet or WiFi adapter itself. I am using Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter. On my laptops the same wireless connection is very fast and I am not sure why it is dead slow in my new laptop only. I have updated the drivers but no luck.

What is a possible cause of this problem? Please help me out here guys.

My home is relatively large with several dead wireless spots. I want to basically flood the entire area with only one SSID and a single encyption key, so I can walk through anywhere in the house and stay connected to wireless. Can I use the Netgear Powerline products to do this? 

I currently have a Cisco Wireless N router which is an RV180W. Now, I want to know if it will be compatible with the Linksys bridge, the model is WUMC710. It seems to be a good deal with multiple ports available. Will there be any settings needed to have a smooth setup for these two devices? Are there any known communication problem between the two?

I have setup a wireless network at home using a Netgear Wireless N 300 WNR2000. I used WPA for security and all my laptops were able to connect without problems except for one. It cannot even detect the network at all. When I tried it in a hotspot, it worked. It can detect other networks within the area but not our own. What should i do? 

I am torn between getting a router or a network switch and I'm hoping someone could help me decide. I just want our multiple devices at home be able to connect to the internet and share files from one device to another. I need something that needs less configurations, hopefully, something that can work right out of the box. 

I got a Samsung SMART TV and I have set it up for wireless internet connection. It shows it is connected to wireless. but it takes time to access the apps. Eventually, it will prompt that there is no network connectivity available. Are there further settings needed to be checked?

Why can't I connect to WIFI using my Android phone? I already turned on the WIFI under settings and selected an open network. It does not ask for a security key and it allowed me to connect right away. The status says I'm connected, however, I am still not able to browse the internet using different browsers.
