Trouble with wireless

[TurboBaron]

Hey guys, hope you're all having a great weekend 

 

So I've moved from Virgin Media to BT and I'm having some issues with my setup.  I've been able to set up the R1 to work with the BT Smart Hub, I understand there's no way to set the S/H to work in modem only mode, so I've simply disabled the wireless and ensured that my powerline adaptors are running through the R1.

 

Here's where things get odd though - none of my devices now seem to like connecting wirelessly to the R1  The R1 is broadcasting a wireless signal, but when I connect my laptop to it I see the error message in the attached screenshot.  Any suggestions on why this could be happening ?

 

For the time being I've got round this by connecting up my Apple Time Capsule to the R1 and using the wireless signal it broadcasts, is this an acceptable setup to get the best out of the R1 ?

 

Cheers guys

 

Dom

Have you tried changing channel or ticking / unticking wifi workaround? 

I think that as long as everything is connected to the R1 (including apple thing as a wifi access point) you should have no problem with any of the features of the R1.

Try using PSK2 as wireless security,my laptop won't work without it

Has your device properly connected to it? I notice my mac will have a blank wifi icon if it's tried to connect to something but failed. Does your device get an IP address when connected?

I had a faff with the different security protocols, and also with changing the channel.  Don't think I tried wifi workaround but might have to give that a go.

OK so having tinkered with some of my settings and "forgotten" and then reconnected to the R1 from my devices I seem to have been able to get the wifi working again.  Not sure what I did precisely but I'm up and running again so let's leave it at that !
