Wireless Difficulties

[Washington]

Hi there. I have a LW050 for nearly a year. Have had no problems until now. For some reason it is not accepting my network key. Plus I also cannot get back into their set-up site 192.168.50.1. Can anyone advise me? THanks in advance.

Washington,

Your hijacking of - http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?threadid=7975, is not related to the original thread, so a new thread has been started instead.

There are also "common courtesy" aspects for others using these forums. So what that means... Unproductive postings (cross-posting, double posting, thread hi-jacking, etc.) ultimately degrade the effectiveness of the forums as an information source for all others.

I think I would perform a hard reset of the device to get it back to the factory default condition and reconfigure for your network and wireless devices. It might be a good time to configure strong encryption, ie. WPA2/WPA with a long random key, if you have been only use WEP in the past. You can use Windows Connect Now (WCN) to save off the configuration to a flash drive for later use.

It looks like you can download a copy of the user manual, etc from here...
