Well can you see your ssid? 😉

Thanks for replying. Yes I can.

I found out through the router log that it was an authentication problem. I tried to fiddle with the password type settings: WPA, WPA2 etc. Using Hex or ASCII to no avail. The only fix was opening a Guest Network without password. Can anyone help?

Try Odyssey 4.56

Try WPA vs WPA2
AES vs tkip
Make sure the settings match on both router and client.

For older machines I found it simpler to use a wireless bridge that connects via ethernet to the NIC on the old computer

No option to make router access allowed only on specific MAC addresses? That way the network will be "open" and only MAC addresses you specified will connect to it.

Windows 98 is from an era where WPA was not yet invented (or at least not in popular use) so it's possible that your card/driver only (properly) supports WEP encryption...

This is the best option and is very inexpensive as well. You can re-purpose most low powered home routers or purchase new gear for this function for about $30-40 Canadian.

Mm, doing the same thing. Specifically using a Nexx WT3020F with LEDE. So nice not having to hunt down working wifi drivers for older OS:es. Paid about $15 for the router IIRC, you can get them on Ebay, Aliexpress, etc.
