    Re: belkin wireless nightmare!

    Are you trying to connect to a network called 'linksys'? If so, it appears to be connected.

    A wild stab in the dark...
    Run these one line at a time.
    Code:
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
    dhcpcd wlan0
    To check if it's working...
    Code:
    ping -c 3 google.com

    As far as my understanding goes, it isn't actually connected but the device just knows the network is there.

    Re: belkin wireless nightmare!

    Right now I am connected via wired so i can message here.

    When i connect the modem to the router and go wireless I can see the networks (linksys is this connection) but I can't access the connection

    I ran the first two commands but the third

    Code:
    sudo dhcpcd wlan0
    sudo: dhcpcd: command not found
    :

    Re: belkin wireless nightmare!

    The command should be:
    Code:
    sudo dhcpd wlan0

    Use the command "sudo dhclient wlan0" instead.

    Looks good to me. Disconnect the wire and see if the wireless works.
