no airlight can not connect to network
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:05 am
I have seen that someone has already posted a thread about this but I have tried to fix mine using the help there but no change.
I have installed openwrt without issue...i then went through and tried to make sure all my settings were correct following the guide.
but when i try and restart the network the air light doesnt come on and it posts the message sending discover a few times.
i tested the ping just to make sure and it doesnt work.
please help...i would be very greatful ( i am a complete novice to this )
here are my settings:
root@OpenWrt:/# vi /etc/config/wireless
- /etc/config/wireless [Modified] 10/14 71%
"/etc/config/wireless" 14L, 359C
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 5 # the channel your wireless is on
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network wan
option mode sta # configures the router to connect to your network
option ssid virginmedia4379414
option encryption wpa # the encryption mode of your network
option key xxxxxxxx (blocked out)
i noticed that my network uses wpa rather than wep could this be the problem? my network is also using channel 5.
The ssid and password are correct
if you need any more information dont hesitate to ask..
Thank you kindly
