I recently got a Nook Wifi and have tried and tried to get it connected so I can shop, etc.
I have Verizon DSL and Linksys WRT54G2 router. I have 5 computers, 4 or 5 ipods, printer, PS2, etc all accessing the internet without any problem whatsoever.
I know the SSID and password for my Linksys router set up with WPA2 security. After going through a hard reset, etc with Tech Support at BN, I took it to McDonalds, connected there and was able to register the Nook and download the books I had purchased. I could get on the web browser and access a website. But at home.... nothing. It sees my network and says it is connected, but when I go to shop, it just says "loading" and never gets anywhere. Web pages will not load.
I have Googled and read every board, suggestion, article, etc that I can find, because apparently, this is not an uncommon problem. I have reset and rebooted modem, router and Nook. I have accessed the web page for my router settings, and can't find anything that would prevent connection. I have updated my router firmware. I removed the security from my network to see if it could connect then- no. I have had my tech-savvy friend try to help, and he can't find anything wrong with my settings either. The Nook keeps showing it is connected to the network, but nothing loads.
Interestingly, I brought my friend's Kindle to my house and connected to my WiFi with no problem and was easily able to download samples of several books. I chose the Nook because of the ability to access library books.
Can any of my Tugger friends think of anything else I can try before I pitch the Nook through the window?
Thanks.
