It worked but only temporarily as the netbook would show a 'not connected' icon even though I was able to browse on the Internet, and the connection would drop out every 5 mins. I clicked on the second tab (I think it was wireless connection), clicked on the original connection found, right clicked, and entered the new wep key in the fields found by clicking the 2nd tab on the connection. Ever since then, I was able to get the correct wep key, so I clicked on the connection found, and thought that a way to re enter the new wep key was to point at the found connection, and click what showed on the left hand side 'change advanced settings'.
At first when the wireless adapter on the netbook detected my router's connection, it asked for a wep key, which at the time, I did not know what it was so I typed whatever I thought it was. I recently bought an Acer One Aspire netbook at Dick Smith in Brisbane, Australia and encountered with a similar problem, however I had just found a solution. They (all customer service depts) could eliminate half their people if they would monitor these forums and accumulate solutions instead of telling me to shut off all my firewalls and other nonsense You and those like you, deserve the world.
Why don't I ever get someone like you at any of the customer support places, huh?Īre you a techie? How did you figure this out? I think the issue was THIS Verizon FIOS router was a different model than the other one and it's JUST a fraction of a second slower than the other routers and bango! Connection timing out. THEN I get to this place I just moved into!!!!!!! nada. Tons of public library wifis, even my car dealership waiting room and over in Ireland, even at restaurants there. MY Acer Netbook worked EVERYWHERE, even on another Verizon FIOS location.
This is INSANELY simple yet incredibly far fetched. I have spent so much time with rude Verizon people who knew nothing. What do you do for a living? Are you in tech support.
