No wi-fi

[sueott]

I can't get my house wi-fi on the Wireless Networks list, so I can't get on the Web. The little triangle next to the battery logo is blank. The wi-fi message at the top just says "scanning." Our iPad and desktop are getting signals. Rebooting the modem didn't work. Why is my own wi-fi network missing?

Do you have SSID broadcast in you're wifi turned on?  If noy, you will need to turn it on for the device to find it the first time.  Also, check if you have MAC address filtering on.  If you do, you'll need to enter the MAC address of the Nook to the list before it will connect.

The nook connects on 2.4GHz g and b WiFi (though why anyone would run 11Mbps b mode???). It does not see 5GHz n or a mode. It may see 2.4GHz n mode, but n does not like to share with g/b.

That's exactly what the tech said on the phone, and it worked.

Ambiguous... You had two responses pointing out different router features -- so which was the solution?

b can be useful if you need range more than you need speed.
