My tablet is connected but my laptop can't/won't connect. Wireless on the laptop is enabled. Reset the router. Re-started the computer. Laptop realizes the that the network is available but can't connect.

WTF?

Any ideas or solutions?

laptop might be trying to connect with the same IP the tablet has

try powering down laptop, tablet, and router

The security and encryption types might be different, have you double checked those?

^2. I'm not that savvy. I guess I can google

Thanks TT. I'll try that

Move to TT?
What's the specific problem or error message? Did this work before? If so, what changed since the time it quit working?

In addition to the above suggestions, delete the network from any saved lists and start over.

Preeesh. It can be moved. Just figured I'd be more likely to get a timely response here.

This is the first time I've tried to use the laptop and the tablet at the same time on this network.

You got any unusual security/encryption setup on your wireless network?

6/3/2013 12:17:24 AM

Just password protected as far as I know. My aunt Jan set it up. I'll have to ask her about that.

Like I said... Not tech savvy whatsoever. :-/

^^That was what I said :b

And on a computer, go to wherever your wireless is, probably lower left corner, right click on the network name you want to connect to, click "Properties". A little window pops up, under the Security tab you'll see three things: Security Type (WPAsomething, probably), Encryption Type (for me it's TKIP or AES), and Network security key (aka, your password).
Make sure that's the same on both your tablet and your laptop.
