We had thought that as the laptops were supplied by Xma and have been loaded with Netintelligence that that may have had something to do with it, but maybe not. Cant turn it off anyway if it is, supposed to safeguard the kids on the net some how.
Type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar and press enter (this is the address of your router).
Do you now see the log in page to your router?
If nothing has been changed in the router settings the user name should be "admin" and the password feild should be left blank.
Once in click on "Advanced" then "Advanced Wireless"
Check what the wirless mode is set to (should be on 802.11 Mixed n/g/b)
If it is then it may be worth resetting the router (hold the reset button in on the back of the router for 20 seconds with the power still on).
Then search for the available wireless networks. You should see your router and it will be in an unsecure state!
Connect to the router then open a brouser window and log into the router using the details above (192.168.0.1).
Once in click on "Setup" then "Wireless Setup" and go through creating a network name and security key/password.
Once done save the settings and log out of the router.
You may loose connection once saved (as the wireless network is now password protected).
Search again for wireless networks and log in using the security key/password you created.
