just figured out a problem i have had for months with my Wireless Network. I am using a: Linksys Wireless-N Home Router WRT150N and sometimes my work computer would not be able to connect to my wireless. It was completely random...somedays I would bring my laptop home and connect, other days it would never connect. Very frustrating when you have a ton of work to do.
Each time i looked at the settings, both computer and wireless router. Nothing ever seemed out of whack, sometimes it worked, other times it did not, eventhough nothing appeared to change, at least settings wise. This morning i fired up my work computer as i have to do some more work and it can not connect. So i am troubleshooting it again.... two home computers, Wii and two iPhones all connect fine. Why doesn't my work computer connect?
I decide to look at the router settings again. What could i be missing? I navigate every fucking screen and menu and sub screen and sub menu. BINGO! I notice an interesting item under the Setup: Maximum Number of Users.
This had a default setting of: 5! Five seems like a very low default to me. The Wii + 2 iphones + 2 home laptops = all five connections. When it worked, one of us had either the iphone not on or maybe one of our laptops was off. What a pain in the ass!
