When you say you have "WiFi connection" at home? Are you talking about a "wireless home network"? What kind of router do you have?



HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

(1) "Hardware reset" your router: Use a pencil to push and hold the little button at the back of your router for 30sec and then let go. Give it a minute to startup. This will restore all the settings back to its factory settings.

(2) Therefore, you need to configure your router again, including the security. I recommend using "WPA2 Personal" and "AES". Use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters in your password. Make sure its about 10 characters or more in length. Watch video links below on how to do this.

(3) Make sure "Maximum Number of Users:" under DHCP Server settings is set to the number of devices you have at home that connects to your home network. If that options exists on your router.

(4) Once that is done, add your network information (SSID, security mode and password) on your phone, and you should be able to connect it. Do the same for your computer.

If you have a wireless home network, then you must have a "wireless router". You need to look into that and follow the instructions I have given you above.



▬▬▬ Edit ▬▬▬



Your modem should be connected to your router. If you only see one unit there, it's possible that you have a modem/router unit, where both the modem and router are in one unit. This is given by some "Internet Service Providers" (ISPs). What is the name and modem number on it?

What kind of WIFI connection, is there a router in place? You should be able to support

multiple devices, unless the DHCP server is misconfigured. Give the make and model

of your networking devices.

Blue teeth radio interfaces can selection a great deal by using producer and without understanding what gadget you have and which OS, application, and so on. that's exceedingly much impossible to tell you the thank you to try this on line. till you have a advertisement grade pc like an IBM Thinkpad or an HP Elitebook opportunities are high you will could pass with the dongle. The Bluetooth radios in maximum shopper grade laptops are relatively susceptible.
