Hi everyone,
I just bought my AAO five days ago and the wireless was working just fine after I had set up my home network security password to the AAO. No drops in connection or anything of the sort. It was perfect. During this period I always had it plugged into the power supply, until last night when I decided to try out its battery power. Turned it on without the power supply and everything was fine. The wireless was working impeccably. When I was done, I turned it off. Next time around, I plugged the power supply back into the AAO, powered it on, and the wireless no longer detected my home network. The wifi still works because I see the usual networks, unsecured, around my area showing up on the list of networks available (I tried connecting to one of these unsecured networks briefly just to make sure my wifi was actually still working, and it was); however, my secured, unbroadcasted, network which worked without a hitch prior to my usage without the power supply was no longer detectable by my AAO. And I hadn't tampered with any settings at all.
I really don't want to change my home network settings. I have it shared, unbroadcasted, with a WEP security password, and I would prefer it stay that way. It's just odd that the AAO would suddenly stop detecting it after it worked perfectly before I began using the unit through the battery. Could it be something that happened during its battery-powered state? I already changed the Power Save Mode on the network card to "Normal" that I read in another thread, but it didn't solve my problem. Any help or guidance to the appropriate thread would be much appreciated. Thanks.
