| 1282459 | 2012-06-19 05:03:00 | You said it in post #30. If it was me I would be reducing the security to WPA, I have found in the past some older devices dont like WPA2. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1282460 | 2012-06-19 05:15:00 | its not an old device, it was purchased 13/02/2012 my other laptop is over 3 years old, doesnt have a problem connecting to WPA2-PSK, nor does any other device could it be a actual problem with the wifi card in the laptop?? |

| 1282461 | 2012-06-19 05:41:00 | tried WPA-PSK didnt work i shouldnt have to drop so low when it was working perfectly 3 days ago |

| 1282462 | 2012-06-19 05:57:00 | i tried to drop it down to WPA2 or WPA but it asks for a RADIUS server IP, which is apparently only for business applications the only thing that works is no security which im not gonna use, for obvious reasons i also uninstalled the realtek wifi driver via device manager, rebooted, it successfully reinstalled the device driver but no luck. im all out of options nothing else to try apart from taking it back??? |

| 1282463 | 2012-06-19 06:17:00 | Oh, so it WAS working and just stopped...hmmm so to recap... so you have removed the drivers and all related software and reinstalled them yes? Have you tried the latest drivers and software from the manufacturers website? It is using Windows to config the connection or some other 3rd party software (such as Intel)? What errors are you now getting? It still sounds like a software issue to me. |

| 1282464 | 2012-06-19 06:20:00 | Yes Yes Windows to config the connection It still complains that the router needs to be turned off for 10 seconds then turned back on( done that, doesn't work) what else could it be??. software wise |

| 1282466 | 2012-06-19 09:04:00 | Sorry if i ask the same question but how many devices have you got connected? | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1282467 | 2012-06-19 09:33:00 | I'm a little surprised no ones suggested this yet. big update: i removed security from the network, and now the laptop connects but as soon as i put security back on (WPA2-PSK with AES encryption it complains about network security key mismatch Rename The SSID to something else, any thing will do, home, lounge, sh1thouse :p anything you like, then change the password as well. Seen one a while back when setting up a customers Wifi that said Fu*k Off :D If other devices are connecting fine with the current settings it's not the router, its something gone screwy with the current SSID / Password / Settings combo in the laptop. If it works and connects, then you'll just have to reconnect all other devices with the new settings. One other thing you can try, this is from MS help Forums: 1. Open the Network and Sharing Center 2. In the left pane click Manage Wireless Networks 3. In the list of networks right click your wireless network and click Properties 4. Click the Security tab and check its settings I have seen a number of times that WPA was chosen instead of WPA2 or that TKIP was chosen instead of AES encryption. Thats from here (social.technet.microsoft.com)- Several other options as well that no one has suggested, worth a read. |
