Hi guys, I just have UniFi installed yesterday but have already encountered a problem. My dad and I use Dell Inspiron laptops that were bought back in 2008, and both of us could not connect to the internet as we can't detect the wifi signal. My netbook on the other hand, which we got last year, was able to connect through radio signal. If we were to use the LAN cable, we could connect (on the Dell lappies)

I did a thorough search and found out that my network adapter currently supports only up to 802.11g for radio mode, while the radio signal detected on my netbook shows 802.11n (UniFi router). I then updated my network driver and hardware, but to no avail.

I have an inkling that the cause is the radio mode incompatibility issue, but I've been trying to solve the problem for hours now.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot on the replies, guys.

I still am unable to detect the signal despite changing radio mode. It can't be WAP/WAP2 settings because I can't even detect the signal to begin with.

So I was thinking that it might be the hardware problem, but then I went to the living room and I was able to detect my neighbour's UniFi (802.11n). That is so odd

Actually, yeah, we did. Once or twice, maybe. I think I'll reboot it again.

So, here was the problem: I didn't have WMM enabled. That solved everything. Thanks to you, and to those who lent a hand, nonetheless

It could be the reboot. Here's what happened - I rebooted twice. After the 2nd reboot, I inspected the signal and it didn't show. Then I enabled the WMM for my network adapter and voila! I went to my dad's laptop to check.. he didn't have his WMM enabled but was able to read the signal.

Well, whatever works
