How to install a wireless connection to Windows XP. How to connect Wi-Fi on a laptop with Windows XP operating system

Hello to all the blog readers. The title is higher, this topic is today, since there are still many uses this system, and I think it will be useful to many users.
Wireless technologies firmly entered our lives with the acquisition of smartphones, tablets, laptops. Most modern devices already have included set Wi - Fi. Module, it concerns most laptops, netbooks, tablets and smartphones.
However, if you have an old computer, it can also be connected to Wi-Fi. There is a special device for it: Wi - Fi adapter. And of course on your PC
still should be at least one uSB slot. Each owner of the gadget is sooner or later faces the question of how to set up Wi - Fi in Windows XP.

Equipment for Wi - Fi

To connect the Internet with a subsequent Wi-Fi organization, you will need
router or router. It should be noted that Router and router - this is two
names of the same device. It is used only if already
There is a ready-made Internet connection via a modem.
Modem and router- two different devicesperforming various functions.
Modemdesigned to convert a signal that is transmitted via wired or
3G network, in the system available for understanding.
Routerdesigned to transmit a decrypted signal to other network participants
Without conversion. In this way, without modemnetwork signal operating system
Windows XP.the device will not be recognized.
Now the line between the modem and the router is gradually erased. Many manufacturers
Both devices are combined in one case. Such a device allows you to create
Wired local network for 4-5 computers (depending on the number of ports in the model) and in parallel to organize wireless connection.
When choosing a router model, first of all pay attention to methodconnections K.
Internet

There are three types of WAN - ports for connecting to the Internet:

1. ADSL Designed for connecting the Internet through telephone line


2. USB 3G. Used to connect USB - modem


3. Ethernetdesigned for connection network cable

If you are planning to connect third-party devices to the wireless network,
You need to select a device that supports data encryption. In this case in
Settings modem (router) All permitted are prescribed IP addressesto connect.

Security Wi - Fi

Since when used Wi - Fi. All information is transmitted by radio
Wi - Fi.networks are much more vulnerable compared to wired networks. The fact is that radio signals sent by access point ( Wi - Fi. router) and devices that are connected to the access point are available for intercepting any similar device that is in the "hearing" radius from the access point or from the client of this access point. That is, the interception of network traffic becomes very simple, affordable and imperceptible. And the interception of network traffic allows you to collect the information necessary for the attack on Wi - Fi.net. As more access points are becoming Wi - Fi. Increases the number of people "Hack" Wi - Fi.net.

The most common motivation for hacking access points Wi - Fi, this isconnect K. Internet through Wi - Fi. is free. For example, you have in the apartment installed Wi - Fi. Router and not only your devices are connected to it, but also a computer of someone from your neighbors.
You pay for the Internet, and your neighbor gets the Internet for free.
But " free online not the only reason for which "slam" networks Wi - Fi.. The fact is that if the attacker gets access to your access point, it can access all devices that are connected to your Wi - Fi. Router. And this gives him the opportunity to theft of your personal data. For example passwords to mail, to Internet banks, your documents - in general, what you own.
So use Wi - Fi.it is necessary with caution.

Here are a few rules that should be observed.

1. Do not connect to K. open public networksWi - Fi. through a laptop on which
You have stored valuable information. And if you need access to the Internet
through open networks Wi - Fi., then use on your laptop
firewall and antivirus.
2. If you are using RouterWi - Fi.at home or in the office, you need
Completely configure Wi - Fi. Routher.
but. Use the security type WPA2.
b. If on yours Wi - Fi. Router There is a function WPS.its necessary disable .
g.If yours Wi - Fi. Routersupports the administration function through the web interface,
need to disable accessto this interface through Wi - Fi..
Wi-Fi web interface The router must be available only through the network cable.
d. Turn offyour router Wi - Fi. At the time when you do not use the Internet - at night
Or when you leave home or office. If the access point works the clock
This facilitates the task of the cracker - he has a lot of time to hold attacks
On your access point

How to get around windows password Read

On the taskbar in Windows or in the menu "Center Network Management" no Wi-Fi icons? This does not mean equipment failed. Framing of technology - only one of the probable reasons. In some cases, you can independently.

What to do if there is no Wireless Network Connection icon.

This problem appears if:


Is there a Wi-Fi receiver?

If a receiver is not installed on the computer, you will not see the Wi-Fi network icon. But how to check what you have for the adapter? The simplest thing is to see the characteristics of the PC. On laptops there should be a sticker on which the specifications of the device are specified. Another option is to find out the adapter model and find information about it. Do you have a landline computer? Then find it out system block Ports for connecting a modem. If an antenna is installed there, then the product is suitable for working via Wi-Fi.

And the easiest way:

If there are no such inscriptions, the wireless connection cannot be configured. But you can purchase a Wi-Fi module or a network card, which is already worth an antenna. There are also external Wi-Fi Receivers.

Driver

Usually, Windows independently loads the software you need. But if the network hardware driver is missing or damaged, it must be installed manually.


To connect, you need to download software. There are several ways. The first will suit if the driver was set incorrectly.

  1. In the Manager, right-click on the item with a yellow triangle.
  2. Select "Delete" and confirm the action.
  3. Restart the computer.
  4. After windows startup "Detect" the presence of a new device.
  5. If this happens, go to the dispatcher again.
  6. Highlight any item.
  7. "Actions - update the configuration."

It will work only with the equipment that is installed on the principle of "Plug and Play" (which means "insert and play"). Software for these devices is loaded itself. You can use them immediately after connection. If in the board, in general, there is no such function:

  1. Highlight any item in the dispatcher.
  2. "Actions - Install an old device"
  3. A window will open with explanations. Click "Next".
  4. Mark " Automatic search"Or" manually ".
  5. Select "Network Adapters".
  6. If you know the model and type of the gadget, find it in the list.
  7. Wait until the installation is completed.

To download an outdated update:

  1. In the dispatcher, click on the device with the right mouse button.
  2. In the drop-down list, click on "Update Driver". This option will be active if Windows defined the equipment model.
  3. Select "Automatic Search" so that the system finds the software on the network and downloaded it.
  4. Or click "Search on a computer" to specify the path to the installer.

Included with a new Wi-Fi adapter or laptop should go disk. You can download the necessary software. If you do not have a CD with the driver, and the system itself did not find it:

  1. Go to the manufacturer's website of the network equipment.
  2. In the search string, copy the model name.
  3. Open the page with information about your adapter.
  4. Download from there by software. Usually it is in the "Support" section, "downloads" ("downloads"), "Files" ("Files") or "Programs" ("Programs").

Exist special applications To install system software. For example, Driver Booster. It defines the equipment model and loads for it. actual versions Drivers.

Settings

Perhaps you have incorrectly selected network configuration. To connect to Wi-Fi, you must configure it. Initially, make diagnostics.


To connect to the access point, the Wi-Fi module must be active. On laptops, they can be controlled using a key combination. Which buttons click, depends on the gadget model. For example, "Fn + F5", "Fn + F7" or "Fn + F9". They draw on the relevant images. But sometimes users hurt them by chance. Yes, and on a stationary computer, the Wi-Fi module can be disabled. For settings:


Now you can restore the connection "by air" if the Wi-Fi icon disappears. But if the network board still broke, it is better to contact the master to the service center.

Using Wi-Fi Wireless Technology Allows you to combine all available in the house or in the office. computer devices. The result of this will be free exchange of information between them. Such a connection allows all available computers and laptops to access the Internet by using one connection channel to the worldwide network.

To connect, you must make sure that the wireless adapter is connected to the computer. Without such a device, the connection is impossible.

Before you need to check. To do this, do the following:

  1. Press the "Start" button, which is located in the lower left corner of the display screen.
  2. In the menu that appears, you need to select "My Computer" and click the right mouse button. Then you need to open the "Properties".
  3. Now several tabs are visible - the one is selected, where the list of equipment installed on the computer is provided.
  4. You need to check to go to the Device Manager.
  5. Opening the list of installed equipment, you can see devices that are grouped according to its purpose. In the situation under consideration, those that allow working with Wi-Fi Windows XP. This section is called "Network Adapters".

Clicking the mouse on this line, you can see the equipment that is installed in the system. One of them is a standard network card. If you can see the adapter in this list, providing Wi-Fi, you can confident that the computer will connect with it.

Note! If there is a mark on the name of the board that the device does not work (it may be a yellow triangle with black exclamation familiar Inside), this suggests that the driver is not installed or incorrectly.

As on Windows XP, connect to Wi-Fi in such a situation - described below:

  • Use the disk with the drivers, which was provided when buying a computer. It needs to be inserted into the drive and run installation program. Then remove and restart the computer. After that, everything should work.
  • There are situations where the disc was lost or not supplied at all. In this case, you can get for PC necessary driver through the Internet. To do this, find the manufacturer's site and for the existing adapter model to download, and then install the driver. After that, the computer is restarted.

If an incorrect installation was performed, the driver must be removed, then it is re-done.

Important! It should be borne in mind that in laptops such an adapter is almost always installed. In modern desktop computers, it also has. But sometimes it becomes necessary to make it installation.

How to use wi-fi

Reflecting on how on Windows XP it is possible to connect to Wi-Fi, you need to remember that to use the wireless connection on the laptop you need to make a hardware switching on. On the case, you can usually find a switch that performs this feature. On some models, it can be found on the end of the laptop, in others - on the reverse side.

For this purpose, in some models, the inclusion can be used using the presses of certain keys. They usually have an antenna icon. Sometimes the F2 or F3 keys are used for this purpose.

Basic difficulties when connecting to wireless networks on Windows XP

Since the possibility of obtaining a wireless network determines the operating system, it may occur so that it is not possible when it is turned on Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, in Windows XP, it is not sufficiently reliable to find available wireless networks. About how to connect to Wi-Fay on Windows XP, told later.

For this data entry, the following steps are taken:

  1. You need to go to the "Control Panel", select "Network Surrounding" in it.
  2. After the window opens, it will be possible to see all available on the connector. You need to select "Wireless", and click on it right mouse button. In the list that appears, select "Properties".
  3. The initial tab to select the desired connection protocol. In this case, this is the TCP / IP protocol. Then it will be necessary to establish its properties.

It should be noted the second option. Now you need to specify the necessary IP addresses in accordance with the data obtained from the provider.

Connecting to Wi-Fi in Windows XP: where to start

First of all, you must check the availability of a Wi-Fi adapter on the computer.

Note! To provide wireless communicationIt is important to install the desired driver.

Now you need to enable the ability to use the wireless network. If not to do this, even when the connection adapter is running, it will not happen.

How to enable Wi-Fi on Windows XP

When working with the Wi-Fi network is already prepared (the required driver is installed, inclusion is made), then the corresponding icon will appear at the right.

You need to click on her right mouse button and in the list that appears to search for working wireless networks. After the list shows, you must select the desired string, click on it and enter the login and password for access.

If this option It is not triggered, you can use the following way. To do this, the user needs to enter the "Control Panel".

After that, you need to take the following actions:

  1. Go to a section that relates to network connections.
  2. Select wireless and activate it.
  3. Click the right key to connect and select an item related to viewing list. existing networksTo which you can connect.
  4. You need to change the order of preference. To do this, the menu indicates the "Network at the Access Point", then check the need for an automatic connection. After actions performed, the list update is required. As a result, you can even see those that the system could hide.
  5. Now it remains to choose the desired Wi-Fi network.

If there is such a need, you can provide for the properties automatic activation. If you do, the wireless network will be installed every time automatically immediately after the computer is turned on.

Important! Sometimes you can not connect to the network without certifying. If the properties disable it, then this message will stop appearing.

Nuances of network selection and connection

When choosing a suitable provider, it is necessary to take into account its quality, reputation, the speed of the connection provided, the presence of a good support service.

When the router is bought in the house or office, it is necessary that its parameters responded to the tasks assigned: so that Wi-Fi is available on the entire area, and the Internet speed even with the simultaneous turning on the devices high.

What to do if the automatic connection does not work

When connecting to a wireless network using a router, you must remember that all parameters are determined by how to configure it. To see them, you need to take such steps:

  1. Run the browser and type the IP address that is needed to call the settings. Usually we are talking about 192.168.0.1. It can be different, but it is easy to clarify if you read the information on the router.
  2. Often the login and the default password coincide - "admin". Typically, these data are also listed directly on the router. They must be scored on the main page.
  3. Configuration of settings may be different for different types routers. You need to see the installed login and password for Wi-Fi.

Note! Having received this data, they are injected to connect to a wireless network.

WPA2 protection problems

WPA2-PSK protection can prevent the wireless connection. This is usually happening when SP2 add-ons are installed for Windows XP. This problem will stop disturbing the user if you install the SP3 update package. Thereafter this defense Will not obstruct wi-Fi work Connections.

If you forgot the access key

To connect a netbook or computer, you will need to specify the username and password. Sometimes the automatic connection to the wireless network does not occur. In this case, you must enter the input data manually.

They can be found as follows:

  1. Enter the "Network and Internet Connections", then go to the Wireless Wizard section.
  2. To continue work, you must click the "Next" button.
  3. You need to select another computer to Wi-Fi.
  4. Mark the checkbox to install yourself.
  5. When the next screen appears, you need to click "Print Network Data". As a result, the notebook will open text filewhere you can see the login and password to enter the wireless network.

Other possible failures and methods for their elimination

The following problems are possible:

  1. It may be so that there is no Wi-Fi adapter on the computer. It is convenient to check if it uses the device manager. If in the section for network devices it is not then wireless adapter It will be inaccessible.
  2. Availability switch is possible Wi-Fi connections switched off. To check it, you need to find it, switch and check the availability of the network.
  3. Login (network name - SSID) and password were entered with errors.

Note! It also happens that everything is configured in the computer correctly, but there is no possibility to connect. Then you need to check that there are available connections in this place.

The reason may also be the lack of connection from the network to the router. If the system does not find a certificate, then it is usually about incorrect authorization.

In Windows XP, difficulties may occur during wireless connections. However proper setting They can be avoided and use through Wi-Fi with high-quality Internet in the house or office.

All articles of our site are undergoing an audit of the technical consultant. If you have any questions, you can always set them on his page.

The home access point or Wi-Fi in various public places is a comfortable and useful thing. Thanks to her, you can always be aware of news and communicate with friends without using additional wires. But with problems when connecting to Wi-Fi, everyone faced. This happens on any devices, but most of all with this trouble holders of old laptops with Windows XP are faced. Therefore, the user has to customize not only the access point, but also the OS.

Immediately start with the council. First of all, you need to choose software for built-in Wi-Fi device. The program can be downloaded from computer forums, sometimes it comes with a laptop. It happens that the Wi-Fi device in a computer or laptop may be absent, then you have to purchase it separately and connect to the PC.

Standard connection method

For fans of video instructions, we found a roller with detailed description inclusionWi-Fi on OS.WindowsXP:

If a PC with Windows XP is not connected to Wi-Fi, the reason can be disabled adapter. There is a Wi-Fi on / off button on the laptop. It can be one of the keyboard keys or removed into a separate switch to another part of the case. After pressing it, the adapter starts and the Wi-Fi icon appears on the Windows XP taskbar. On it, you need to double-click the list of available networks available. You need to select the network user who belongs to the user and click "Connect".

What to do if not connected?

If you cannot connect to the Internet, you will have to make a deeper adjustment of Wi-Fi parameters on Windows XP:

  1. Open the "Start" and select from the "Control Panel" list.
  2. Next, select "Network Connections" and enable "Wireless Network Connection".
  1. Next click on "Change the procedure for network preferences" and in the settings, click "Network at the Access Point". To do this, you need to check the "Automatic connection to the network".
  2. Then you need to return to the "Wireless Network Connection" and click on the "update network list".


  1. Determine your WiFi and click "Connect".


  1. After you need to enter the username and key.


The connection parameters have an automatic connection feature with Wi Fi. After its inclusion, the user does not have to connect to the Internet manually each time the launch of the launch.

Attention! If you find the shutdown key on the laptop Wi-Fi adapterand it does not work, then you can enable it in the dispatcher windows devices XP:

  2. A list will open, select "Properties".
  3. Left at the top Click "Device Manager".
  4. Find your own Wi-Fi Equipment And run it.

Setting up Wi-Fi on Windows XP is a bit more complicated than in more modern OS. For example, in Windows 8, the Wi-Fi network is determined automatically and rarely requires manual adjustments of options. Despite this, possessing the necessary skills setting the adapter even on XP, can be made in a few minutes.

On a stationary computer to connect to Wi-Fi, you must not only understand Windows XP, but also to install external element. It can be a USB Wi-Fi adapter or PCI-E WiFi card.



The first option is perfect and in the case of a laptop, if, for example, the signal is caught bad.

Setting up or connecting to the Internet

After a successful connection to Wi-Fi, you need to make sure that the internet is presence. If it is not, then Wi-Fi does not work on a laptop. To solve the problem on Windows XP, you need to go to "Network environments" and select "View available wireless networks".

They asked to tell how to configure the computer's work on the Internet via an ADSL modem (similarly set up with the router) and the computer operation on the local network via the local router.

We will configure the network in Windows XP, with Windows 7 is similar.

Given:
1. Local network 10.10.0.0/24 c router 10.10.0.1
2. ADSL modem from the provider tuned by a router with IP 192.168.0.1 included in the Local Network Speed, then-there handle the Internet of the entire subnet 192.168.0.0/24 who will be registered with the main gateway.

Understanding the network bridge in the "Real World" Bridge is a structure that covers the distance between two points and provides communication or connection from one place to another. In the network terminology, the bridge performs a similar function, since it covers two local networks and allows packets from one to another.

Task customize the operation of computers on the Internet with simultaneous work on the local network through the router 10.10.0.1 and other networks that are behind the router.

The first thing we do is turn off the DHCP server in the modem. This in order for the modem to dispel the IP on the local network, all Aipi gives his hands.
Second - open the settings of the network card and prescribe:

As a bridge differs from the router. Bridges and routers are network connection devices that connect network segments together. However, there are a number of differences between them. Routers are more complex devices than bridges. Bridges can be combined with routers for the production of Bruiver.

The bridge also restores the data when it sends them, but does it at the package level, and not at the signal level. Repeaters cannot connect segments that use different methods Access to the environment, but some types of bridges, called translated bridges, can. The most important thing, repeaters transmit everything, without considering the addresses or not distinguishing the addresses as bridges.

The parameter entry window opens, enter the IP address, mask, gateway and DNS in the settings network cardand and go to the additional settings:

Assigning a bridge You can use the bridge to segment the network to reduce traffic overload. When you first send a message to a specific address, the bridge sends it to all computers on both sides. Thus, it detects which side the address relates, and adds the address to its table. Port numbers are used to represent different segments. Then, when subsequent messages are sent to this address, the bridge knows to send a package to the appropriate segment if the destination address is in another segment from the source or if the source and the destination computer are located on the same segment, and not to send a package through the bridge.

IP: 192.168.0.5
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Main gate: 192.168.0.1
DNS:192.168.0.1

For each configured computer, you must specify a different IP address, for example 192.168.0.5, 192.168.0.6, 192.168.0.7 etc.

After filling out all the fields as on the screenshot, press the button Additionally:

Consequently, unnecessary traffic does not cross the bridge. Bridges can connect two network segments that use different media into one subnet if they use the same network protocol. You can use the bridge instead of buying a wireless access point.

The bridge automates the data transfer process from one type of media to another, without requiring you to adjust individual subnets for each type of media and manually adjusted the transfer of packages between subnets. Adapters on which specific functions, such as the Internet connecting screen and internet access, are included, cannot be part of the bridge. Look under the hood of the network bridge. Bridge places network adaptersbelonging to him in the "erratic mode". This means that the adapter can intercept all transmitted packets, and not just those addressed to him.

To do this, we just add everything that goes on the network 10.0.0.0/8 to go through the local router 10.10.0.1, for this click Start - execute And enter the command ::

ROUTE ADD -P 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 10.10.0.1

To check static permanent routes, execute the command:

In order that when executing you, the console window is closed, run the command Start - Run - CMD And in the window that opens is already above the above commands.

Click the Start button. The control panel window opens. Click "Switch to the classic view", which appears in the navigation bar on the left side of the control panel window, if the control panel is not yet in the classic viewing mode. When the control panel window is classically, the Network Connections menu will be displayed on the on the right panel.

Connecting and configuring WiFi in Windows XP: Video

Double-click the Network Connections icon on the control panel to open the Network Connections window. Find a wireless connection, the settings of the router of which you want to find in the "Network Connections" window. Right-click on the connection. This will open the Connection window to the wireless network for this connection.

If you have other addresses, simply change to your analogy.

Setup network completed. With you was Sergey Lazarenko.

We will take a little break and browse a short video clip.
