Its still giving me a hard time. Its unsecured and everything, turned
data encryption off and on etc. I was at another house with the exact
same router and it was able to connect. I'm connected to the router
right now via an ethernet cable so it is functioning. One thing I think
may be the problem is that the power went off on the modem when I first
connected to it; I did not know it was that one until I checked the
ssid on the router. Perhaps that did something?
