Having another attempt to get this netbook working on wi-fi.

I vaguely recall the previous thread.

Have you got any devices using WiFi with this router working *as I
type* ?



What is the make and model of the router?

Netbook is an Asus.

well you have scrubbed out the network password

If the netbook USED to work then either its capable of running WPA or
the router used to run WEP as well.

Probanbly BT reconfigured the router so it doesn't, for security reasons.

'Netbook is an Asus' is about as informative as 'car is a Ford'

Why is this so hard?

Make and MODEL number.



I would bet (as it looks to be a Virgin "super" hub), VM have pushed new
firmware to it since the netbook last worked and it no longer supports
an encryption scheme it used to. VM have been making a lot of noise
about their new "intelligent" wifi.

yet another giood reason to use it in modem mode and supply your own
router IMO.
