Android and Time Warner internet?

[TheAdmira1]

Has anyone else had trouble connecting to their Time Warner Motorola wireless modem/router with android? I cant pick up the signal with my Droid X or my Galaxy Tab? My PC in both windows and Linux, my roommates Mac book Pro, and his iPad all connect without a problem, but Android doesn't seem to find it all? TIA

I have TWC Road Runner and don't have a problem with it at all.

are you using the TWC motorola router? and do you know if it has preference to send out n opposed to b/g? it doesnt make any sense that all of my other devices read it fine, but my androids dont?? thanks again

As TheAdmiral stated, check your prefs to see what signal you are transmitting. Knowing TWC, pretty sure it's going to be a G signal. Also, within the router settings, make sure your SSID is set to "broadcast".

I cant access my routers settings sadly... but it almost seems as though its sending out only n? aaaand of course TWC wont give me the passcode to access my router...

does anyone know the standard login info for the router access page of TWC? ive tried everything i can think of... the technician used username: admin... ive tried password to be administrator, password, passcode, all 0's, and no password at all... if you cant tell im kinda going crazy...

Fixed!! Ok sooo if anyone needs it for future ref: Motorola SGB6580 username: admin PW: motorola... the settings you need for android and mac aaand PC to play nicely together are:

802.11 Band 2.4ghz
802.11 n-mode off
Bandwidth 20mhz
Control Channel 1

Snag WiFi Analyzer from the market. It is pretty decent at helping you choose the best operating channel for your router. Will also show you at a glance who is broadcasting what around you so you don't run into any channel conflicts.
