wifi. cannot access Netgear WG102 on Ubuntu 15.04

There is a lot of wireless interference with other wireless routers who are transmitting on the same channel (channel 1 and 11).

Please log into the homepage of your wireless router using a working, wired Internet connection and using a web browser.

Then change the wireless transmission channel on your router to channel 6.

Also force the router to use Wireless-G speeds (54 Mbps) to stabilize the connection.

Then reboot the router and reboot your PC.

Then retest wireless.

Hi Mark, thanks for suggestion. I changed channel to 6 and forced Wireless-G, rebooted wireless AP and computer, and still nothing, then switched to 4 and tried that since that channel looked less busy. attach out.
