Cannot connect to home wireless network

[audiudew2006]

I am unable to connect to my wireless network. I have a modem from ATT and then a wireless router with which my laptops are connected. But I cannot seem to connect the nexus 7.

When I attempt to connect, all I see is "Authenticating.." and nothing else happens after that.

Any advice?

Check the security settings on your router. I had to changed them on mine from WPA to WPA2.

Check that you entered your wifi password correctly. I hope this helps!

password is correct. I entered it multiple times.

This is a linksys router. 5 yrs old works great. Was plug and play out of the box. Will have to figure out how to change settings. Thanks for the tip.

There should be a label on it telling you where to go, which website that is, to access the settings. If not just google it.

Also, if you do change those settings you will have to change them on your laptops so they match the router's. So don't panic when your laptops can't connect to the network afterwards. It's easy to do, takes about 30 seconds, especially on newer operating systems such as Windows 7. Just right click on the internet network icon on the taskbar and then on fix/solve problem.
