I recently called up Belkin and had them walk me through securing my router. I'm sick of allowing the entire neighborhood to download porn on my network.
All 8 windows machines connect fine, they see the name, they click it, type in a quick password and bam! they're online.
Everytime I had clicked my routers name, I had a "connection timeout" I tried to get around this by restarting my mac and what not, but nothing worked. Although it was secured, there wasn't even a lock sign next to my name like there is for all the other networks close by. I called up Belkin with my problem and they said to change my router name and try to reconnect. I did that and it worked.
The problem is, after one night for a handful of ours my macbook disconnects again and I try everything once more, open up airport click my connection name (at this point, again the lock sign is not there) and I get a connection time out. I have to always go to my router settings and change the name in order to use my Macbook for a few consecutive hours.
Help?!?!
Thanks you -
