This solution will also work for your other devices that may be having trouble connecting to your wireless router, such as Xbox, PS3, Wii, Android phone or IPhone. You PC will now be able to connect to your router…finally. The solution, change the speed configuration on the router to auto or mix (allowing for all speeds that is supported by the router). Because of this, it's not allowing your PC to connect with one of the lower speeds (in this case b or g). Your PC, which you owned for a while, may have a wireless card that is only capable of running b and g speeds, but still won't connect to the router.Ĭhances are, if you check your wireless router configuration, it may be set to enforce g only.
Say you have a router that supports b, g and n speeds.
802.11n operates at a maximum throughput speed of 300 Mbit/second.802.11g operates at a maximum throughput speed of 54 Mbits/second.802.11b operates at a maximum throughput speed of 11Mbit/second (and is being phased out with newer PC's and routers).The biggest item that can easily trip you up when troubleshooting wireless connection problems is NOT checking the wireless speed configuration on the router and PC.
