Cannot Connect Lynksis Router

[nujinini]

Hello Guys,

I did not know I have this problem until I tried to connect to a LYNKSIS unsecured wireless connection earlier and was not able to. The first time it happened was the other day. Then again yesterday. I thought it was just a slow connection but when I was trying to connect again today, I was not able to establish again. Although the connection is identified, the machine just kept on trying to connect to no avail. I am using a Fedora 10 distro and this problem is also experience in the XP partition. When I went home, I was able to connect without any problem at all. I am using an Asus at home. I noticed that it is with Lynksis that I experienced failed connection 3 times.

Thanks in advance for any information and advise.

Is the access point and/or system an 802.11n device? While these support 802.11b/g, there are interoperability issues with different system chipsets and various access points. This is not such a problem these days with new systems since the 802.11n standards are getting more "standard", but earlier versions were very problematic and could explain the problems you are having.

Hi Rubberman,

Can you please tell me how to check the access point/ or system 802.11n? I was trying to tinker around my machine and "googling" it but it seems to be getting me nowhere.

Thanks in advance!

What is the make+model of the Linksys router/access-point, the make+model of the laptop with the problem, and the wireless chip set it is using if an internal card, or make+model of wireless adapter if it is external (usb or pcmcia cardbus card)?

Ohh....ok rubberman. Actually I was not able to check the Linksys make+model because it was in a restaurant. But anyway,if I encounter the same problem, i would try to ask if it would be possible to know the infos so that I can understand this issue better. And perhaps, also find a solution. Thanks man!

The restaurant probably is using a plain 802.11b/g router. Since it is a public access point, there may be other reasons why you couldn't connect that are not relevant to your system at all. Not being there, I cannot say more about that.
