    Hi Guys,

    I have a serious problem. I changed my SSID from eircom******* to A1 connect and since I can't connect to it. and teh wep key does not work.

    I can see the new "A1 Connect" but can't connect

    I can't access http://192.168.1.254 anymore to change it back.

    Any suggestion.

    It wont connect to the router if you're not first connected to A1connect. Is there a reset button on the router? If you can get connected try www.routerlogin.com

    I can connect with a cat 5, but the wireless still not work.

    I reboot the laptop, router etc.... I even try setting up the wireless with no privacy no password.

    any ideas ? "windows can not connect to this network

    "Just solved my problem, was pc and mac incompatibilty, thanks for the quick advices"

    Open up the control panel for wireless networks. Look for the little box in the taskbar and right click it for getting there quickly.

    Off the top of my head:
    • bring up the box to search for wireless networks
    • click Advanced in the blue pane at the side
    • delete the entry for your old 'eircomABCD EFGH' network
    • add the new entry for 'A1 connect' with the correct password and encryption type
    • save/OK out of it
