I have had my switch for a week without setting it up. This is so painful. I knew set up would be painful. I reach the internet step. Everybody else's router pops up. Like everyone on the block. Mine is hidden and filtered by MAC. I do a manual set up. I have done this for other devices.

The switch is not finding my router and all it says is bring the switch closer which I totally did. I have a D-Link.

Dumb question. Is the internet name some kind of optional tag or do I need to put something special there to make it work? SSID is a separate entry.

Error Message is "Please check the status of the network device and try again."

I am not sure because it appears as registered and the switch maybe does not show hidden networks? The switch is showing one SSID twice.

Just disable Mac filter and try again!

Use your android router to see if the problem is with the Tp link!

I had some problems with Switch network services,
it was solved changing the DNS to Google's public one:

8.8.8.8 (8.8.4.4 might work as well).

What is the reason for getting rid of the MAC filter? I entered the MAC given by my switch as being its own? And I triple checked it. It is more likely to be the hidden network because some devices cannot handle one.

Chances are good that the dually listed SSID is at 2 frequencies.

I am using an automatic DNS.

This is it! TKIP!

I switched to AES. All my devices had no trouble but this PC I m browsing on had a SNIT!!. Now to see if the Switch is good with it. It is.

The router still does not recognize the PC as a client even though the PC is signed in as the Admin but thank you all and thank you jonna & Dmafra.

Exactly why I said to switch.

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!

    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
