| 1282448 | 2012-06-19 00:31:00 | the only thing i've changed is the channel frequency from 20Mhz to 40Mhz Well theres the problem , wifi doesnt use those frequencies :p I have seen hardware faults with the internal wifi card cause this exact issue. Only way to test that is to try a Wifi dongle try -another wifi channel on the router (1,6 or 11) -try removing the wifi pass: just to see if it then connects -try updating the wifi driver & the laptop bios -MAKE SURE if its XP that SP3 is installed -uninstall any 3rd party wifi managers(ie Tosh.HP,ACer wifi manager) |

| 1282451 | 2012-06-19 01:02:00 | What wifi router have you got?? It could be something as simple as MS Update 'updating' drivers . Try rolling back the drv, download new driver, bios update. Also remove the HP wifi management software if applicable. HP security/password manger can also cause some strange issues. In the past Ive fixed similar issues with driver/bios updates & replacing flaky wifi adapter |

| 1282454 | 2012-06-19 01:41:00 | (WPA2-PSK with AES encryption it complains about network security key mismatch It's possibly defaulted to using TKIP instead of AES. |
