Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect

[Monolith]

I recently replaced my modem with built in wireless and since then linux will not connect.

It recognizes the WiFi, and attempts to connect, but tells me I am dissconnected. I haven't been able to repair the connection by resetting the modem, my laptop.

can you connect to your router using Ethernet? it would make it easier for troubleshooting?
Do you see your wifi access point?

[Monolith]

I am currently on ethernet and it does work, and yes my laptop sees the wife, but will not connect after trying

[PatH57]

my laptop sees the wife

mine to, just joking

ok let's do this it will give us all the information needed.
What's the name of your wifi? and does it show in network manager (network icon at the bottom of your screen)

Could you please use this? open terminal and copy paste this:

Code: Select all

sudo wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && \chmod +x wireless_script && \./wireless_script

It will download a script and create a file named wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless at the time. The MAC address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security. Paste contents of the wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz file at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com or alternatively http://pastebin.com/ then post the link here in your question.

and have a look here.

[PatH57]

you did send me the script not the output of it?
you have to copy paste the command I gave you, it will run and save a file, that's the one we need.

wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz in your home folder (if you did execute it in you home directory)

[turtlebay777]

I'm not trying to interfere but merely to point out that it's possible that a PC can 'see' a wi-fi station but the station's signal is too weak to lock onto and open up the connection.

[Monolith]

I put the script into terminal, and it made a file, I copied and pased the file.

is that not what you are asking me to do?

[PatH57]

did you copy paste this into terminal?

Code: Select all

sudo wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && \chmod +x wireless_script && \./wireless_script

and what is the output of terminal (highlight the text, right click with your mouse and paste it back here.

This one might be easier for the poster as it will upload to pastebin and return the url in terminal

If it works, I can't test from my phone
