I've been using a MR314 with the latest firmware
to run 1 wired PC and 1 laptop with a Linksys
wireless card for about a year. I've had the
occasional unexplained outage, but it always came
back at some point. I moved my setup last
week and when I reconnected everything my laptop
refuses to even see my network (laptop running
WinXP). I think it's the MR314 because my
laptop can see and connect to my neighbor's
network. The laptop is physically sitting next to
the MR314, so interference shouldn't be an issue.
I've double checked all the settings to no
avail - though XP should display the available
networks independent of ESSIDs, channels, and encryption
as I understand it. Any suggestions on likely
problems or troubleshooting steps?
Thanks,
-Pete

| I'm not too familiar with the MR314, but maybe
the first thing that comes to mind is to double
check the setup is enabled to broadcast the SSID? |

| There is no option to broadcast the ESSID or not
that I know of in the setup, simply textbox
to set it - if someone else knows of this on
the MR314 please let me know. |

| Does anyone know the significance of the icon in
the 'Preferred Networks' section at the bottom of
the 'Wireless Networks' tab under the network
properties on the wireless PC? When I manually
'add' my router's network SSID under there, it does
change from a red x to a little blue circle,
but it still won't show up under the top
section 'Available Networks'. I can't find a
description of this icon, but it implies to me
that the hardware can detect the network and it
just won't allow me to connect for some reason.
If this is true I suppose it would be a
significant piece of troubleshooting info - though I
still wouldn't know how to fix it. |

well,
my friend..
what i suggest you is to delete all the
preffered & available networks in the wireless network
tab in winxp..
after that click on the refresh button in the
wireless network tab....
and check for the advanced tab in wireless
network,it shud be set up to any available
network.....
then try to reset your router if you have a
reset button in your router.....
and then restart the your computer & see whether
you find your network in available or not...

hi buddy
What i can suggest is that try hard resetting
the Router by pressing the Reset button at the
back panel of the router somewhere near to antena.
Press and hold the button for 20 second and
the test light will come on. Release the button
and the unplug/replug the power cable of the router
and when the test light goes down then try to
reconfigure the Router I believe laptop will pick
up the signal

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with my MR314.
I have two different WLAN NICs and one of them
I use no problem at work. I believe it is
the router that is causing the issue, however I
have not changed a thing, it just stopped working
one night. I have tried everything I can,
including re-set, re-configure, re-loading the firmware,
downgrading the firmware and then re-loading the
lastest back. You name it, I have tried it.
I can only assume from this that the router
has developed a fault and my next option is to
buy a new one. If you have any more information
or have manged to get yours to work I would
be grateful of any info you have.
Regards
Mac
