Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop automatically connecting to network

[Russ Hubley]

Thank you, David.
Great directions! My problem is that there are times when I go to the manage
wireless networks and the network I have just connected isn't there.
Right now, I have three networks in my manage wireless networks.
The other day, I used these same directions that someone sent me a few weeks
ago. and this worked perfectly.
That night, I connected with the network at the Laquinta Inn, just to see if
my problem was solved. With this network connected, I found that the network
did not appear in the manage wireless connections area. I found the same to
be true when we visited our Toyota dealership.

Is there something I need to adjust? David, this is not a must. I just am
interested in find out the answer.

Thanks to you, and other members of this group for your patience.

Russ

To have your laptop atomatically connect;
Do the following;

You will see the checkbox in the connections tab;

Wayne,
Where is the save connection box. I have looked for this just after I have
connected with the network for the first time.
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit with Jaws 12.
I know that reconnecting is no big deal, but, I sure would like to know
this.

Thanks again,

Hi everyone,

I have asked this question before, but I have some additional evidence and



a
question.



In three cases I was able to connect to a connection and have my laptop
set
up to automatically reconnect to this network when I was in range again.
On
other cases, this has not worked.



Examples

After successfully connecting to a network, I went to manage wireless
networks link and found the network here. I went to properties and found
the
checkbox checked which would always allow me to automatically reconnect.



On two different occasions, I have successfully connected to a network,
but,
when I went to the manage wireless networks, i did not find the current
network, and could not set up this automatic feature.



One of these was the Laquinta Inn and the other was our auto dealership
network.



Are there certain networks that do not allow you to use this automatic
feature, or is there something I need to change.



Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Russ

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop automatically connecting to network

[Russ Hubley]

Thank you, Don,
The signal strength here at the laquinta inn comes in as excellent. The name
I here is, "LQ net."

The routers I was able to successfully set up for my computer to always
connect when in range are as follows
They are also in my manage wireless networks. Under properties, the checkbox
is checked concerning always connecting when in range.

My home router, (required a password) 
My son-in-law's router, also required a password
Our local computer shop, uncertain if this required a password.
All above connections were excellent.

Is there something I can adjust to take care of this issue?
Don, this is not a big deal, just kind of a challenge. As long as I just put
the laptop to sleep, it retains the wireless network connection.
Thanks again,
Russ

  Is that router configured not to broadcast it's SSID?  This is the 
name that should appear in the Connect to dialog.  If it does not, you 
will need to enter the SSID manually as well as it's pass phrase.  The 
other possibility is that the laptop is just too far away to make a

interference.  Try connecting with the laptop close to the router.  The 
best place to put a router is near the center of the house (or central 
to all of the areas you want wireless Internet)and up high.  
Microwaves,cordless phones, and neighbor's routers can cause 
interference.  Try to keep these items away from the router and laptop.  
Logging into the router and changing the wireless channel number can 
make a vig difference.  I think the channels go from 1 to 11.  Changing 
my router to channel 11 made a big improvement so that I no longer get 
drop outs.
