In reply to the discussion: SWAT team throws flashbangs, raids wrong home due to open WiFi network [View all]Is your router in mixed mode? It could be set to just G or just B. Set it to mixed mode (both B and G) if you have both B and G devices.
Try setting it to WEP mode. This is not really secure, but useful for troubleshooting. If you can connect in WEP mode, then try WPA. This is more secure than WEP. If you can connect in WPA, try WPA2. Now you know whether you can't get any device to log on, or if you can't get certain devices to log on at certain security levels.
Also, if you are using a passphrase, try a different one. I once couldn't get devices to connect to a wireless network until I changed the password from a password that started with a number to a password that started with a text character.

REIN, not reign. I don't mean to be a poop, but there's a huge difference in the meaning.

Some jurisdictions are billing people who are arrested for their arrest and incarceration now.

They don't need the cameras for that. Mother ran over to my brother's house and opened the door.

Yeah, the average person thinks they have "rights" until they're forced to use a public defender.

Yeah, I have a couple old ones laying around, and my current router is WiFi as it happens.
