Hey everyone,
I cannot find my home ADSL Billion router SSID to connect to from my laptop.
I have Squeeze running on a Toshiba Satellite P200, it has the wireless chipset
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron]
Network Connection (rev 61).
I also use a billion 7800N wireless router. So far every device i have (Ipad,
wifes laptop and phones etc) can connect to the billion without a hitch.
On my laptop i cannot find the SSID of my router. at first i thought it was a
wirelss N issue (ie my laptop didnt support N) but its apparently not the issue
as i have portable wireless hotspot with runs on N and i can use that AP fine
from the laptop.
Some output of iwconfig from the laptop
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"XXXX_XXXX"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: CC:96:DD:DD:DD:43
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=53/70 Signal level=-57 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I have obviously changed the mac address and ESSID of the AP i am currently
using.
I have searched around of a hardware support list of the Billion 7800N but
cannot find any correlation between the chipset i use and my router. I have
also attempted to connect to the AP via manually entering the SSID name and
pass-phrase but it just cant find it.
Ideally i would have a spectrum analysis device to help find exactly what
frequency they are running on and see if there were any other interferences
going on, But since this isnt an intermittent issue and the fact i have never
seen my home SSID show up when searching for it makes me think its a chipset
issue.
If anyone could suggest something i havent tried yet or expose me to similar
experiences you may have had that would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time everyone!
Nathan.
