Nothing is connecting to my wireless router.

Knightmare25 · Dec 4, 2013

My computer uses a wired connection that connects to my wireless router, and the internet works perfectly fine, but other computers and things like phones can't wirelessly connect to the router. Sometimes it detects my router, but when it tries to connect it fails, and then it loses the detection and if I try to scan again, it doesn't show up. This is the router:

It's pretty old. Has the wireless in it just crapped out on me?

Does this still happen with the device right next to the router?

USAFRet :

Yeah. My phone is right next to the router and it's not detecting the router. The PC trying to connect wirelessly is in the room next to the router. It never had this problem before. However, my PC that is wired to the router is working perfectly fine. It's just the wireless that's not working.

I've had that issue with and older Linksys I downloaded new firmware and flashed it and that fixed it. You might try and DL the latest firmware for your router and see if that helps.

Verify that the wireless is actually broadcasting...

If so, that Netgear may be toast.

How do I do that?

1. Log on to the router settings and make sure the WiFi is actually on.
2. Maybe reboot the router.

Didn't work.

Knightmare25 · Dec 4, 2013

Ok, I figured out how to log onto it. It says:

Wireless AP ON
Broadcast Name ON

I'm guessing that means it's broadcasting?

You almost certainly have to do this from a wired connection.

Here is the manual:

If 192.168.1.1 does not work, try : http://www.routerlogin.net

I did. I figured out my IP and I logged on. It says:

Wireless AP ON
Broadcast Name ON

OK
So we've logged on to the router, and the WiFi is apparently on and functional.

Standing next to it, can any device see the SSID?

When I unplug or restart the router, the devices detect it for a few seconds, fails to connect, and it disappears from the list of SSIDs.

I'd download and install the newest firmware from the manufacturer's website.
