[olpc-help] Connecting to internet

[Musu Namas]

  My ActionTec M1424WR was set on "Automatic."  I learned this by following 
these steps:
  1. Go to your Browser, and type in 192.168.1.1
  2. Screen will open, and you will need to insert "User Name" and 
"Password."
  The Default response would be -- admin -- password
  Since I had inserted my own personal User Name and Password at the time of 
router setup, this was the info I employed.
  3. New screen will open.  Along the top you will spot "Wireless Settings." 
Select that category.
  4. Along the left side you will see a column.  Choose 'Basic Security 
Settings."
  5. Look for Section.....3. Channel: ______________ Mine depicted 
"Automatic." This rotated eleven channels.  It was suggested
  by another Support FAQ Member to only have one.  I couldn't locate that 
hint that had described this task, so I just chose "1."
  [Do not type in the quotes.]
  6. Click the "Apply" button.

  When I returned to the XO Laptop's Home Page, chose Neighborhood the 
circle representing my Internet Connection was visible.
  Once it was selected, I believe that it was necessary to type in my Key. 
The Default shows:  Passphrase.  The drop-down menu
  was used, and the Hex (64-bit) was selected.  My Key was inserted into the 
space.  Voila!  Success!

Clicking on links takes me nowhere also. I'm willing to try changing to 
Channel 6, but I haven't got a clue how to do it. Are the directions 
something that can be typed easily or would it be a labor-intensive reply? 
I'd appreciate the help if possible. I love my little XO, but it's pretty 
limited until I can get online.

  >> Hi.  For what it's worth, a friend of mine had the same problem with an 
Actiontec router.  His was on channel 9, and I asked him to switch to 
channel 6.  He had to reboot the router afterward, but it's now working 
(before, the OLPC wouldn't find the router).  Perhaps try changing channels 
as well via the router's admin interface (I recommend channels 6 or 11)
