Thread: AR 800 V v 3.0 wifi not working

I just got this modem from BSNL. I want to connect using wifi. Its interface looks just like my Nokia Siemens C 2110. I am able to connect using LAN. Can anybody please help me get wifi working. Whenever I try to connect I get this message " Windows is unable to find a certificate to log you onto the network BSNL_AP "

Thanks essbebe. Will try and let you know.

In one of the thread mention. There is an option to add our MAC ID to the white list. I want to try it. Can you please tell from where I will get the MAC ID of my Laptop ?

I think it will be seen in the bottom!!!
(Check the label with some bar code etc !)
In one lpatop along with XP key the MAC code appears.
2. try ipconfig /all
the physical address is the laptop's
( I was thinking it was for the wlan card )
Please confirm.

Unable to find at the bottom. I tried ipconfig/all for the laptop. Is the physical address in this the Mac ID?

Is the above ipconfig/all data sufficient ? I got the physical address while trying ipconfig/all. Not sure whether it is of Wlan card.

Update :

Now I connect to the wifi network. Signal strength is excellent. But not able to connect. Can you please confirm whether the values entered are correct in screen shot. Sorry to bother you.

ipconfig /all
seems correct. same for all versions
enter it in white list of modem and and check. How to find your MAC address in Windows 7? | Windows 7 Themes

Actually when I disabled white list, I was able to connect. But something is wrong that I am connect, but not browse Any idea ?

In the link given there is a thread discussing this aspect. I remember Channel country change helped.
I thought , I need not give too many details to you.
Does the SSID appear in " Show Available Wireless Network list "
try without any security key.

Yes. SSID is appearing in the list of network connection. I am able to connect with and without security key. But can't browse. When I plug in the LAN cable, I am able to browse.

Present status :

try wireless channel selection manual and enter 11.
In two screenshots you had given earlier ch 3 and 11 seen.
Ok. you You had done that.
I presume you have window 7.
Wireless LAN Settings page see the top for the wireless lan adapter. Click configure and check enabled or not
and other options.

Yes. Now it is 11. And country code is INI. I have set it as manual.

I think global setting profile
should be 802.11G not B.
checking up my Netgear wgr614.

Mode

Select the desired wireless mode. The options are:

* g & b - Both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations can be used.
* g only - Only 802.11g wireless stations can be used.
* b only - All 802.11b wireless stations can be used.
802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode.

OK. Will change it and try.

In advanced settings what should be

NitroXM PiggyBack: Disable Enable
WMM: Disable Enable


Disabled or enabled ?

Update :

In the status, send bytes are counting. But received are almost stagnant. Does it implies anything ?
