| 836738 | 2009-12-05 20:50:00 | Hi to all, I have a laptop with windows XP sp3. Yesterday I installed a Netgear router to have wireless connection with my laptop. I configured the connection with the key and the connection worked perfect but after I turned off both the laptop and the router and went to turn it on in the morning, the router seems to be working fine and my laptop detects it but its giving me an error and doesnt want to connect to it. Tho the laptop is side by side with the router it tells me the router is not in range. When I try to delete the wireless connection to configure the router again I dont seem to find an option to do that. Another laptop running windows 7 can connect perfectly. Is there anything I can do to make this connection to work again on this windows xp laptop?? I also noticed that today there was another wireless connection available that had poor connection but cant delete that one either... |

Select the ones you want ( or all) and press delete - this will remove the link(s) to the selected network along with any passwords. Now try reconnecting again, with the password as if setting up for the first time. |

| 836740 | 2009-12-05 21:21:00 | I deleted all the stored connections there inclusind this one. Laptop says there is a connection available, NETGEAR connection, secured, but when I try to connect it still gives me the same error... | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 836741 | 2009-12-05 21:27:00 | This might sound silly - but the two available connections are not named the same are they ?? I assume the Vista laptop sees the connection at full strength ?? What setting is the security on the wireless -- try turning off the security as a temp measure, see if anything improves. I have seen sometimes if security is to high there can be connection problems. |

| 836742 | 2009-12-05 21:29:00 | No the other 2 connections are different, my windows 7 is full strenght but yet this xp laptop is giving me problems, dunno why it worked perfect yesterday and now it doesnt. | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 836743 | 2009-12-05 21:34:00 | The router has a reset option button, could that help? also is there anyway I can delete the netgear profile on the xp laptop?? | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 836744 | 2009-12-05 21:43:00 | Ok, did reset on router and stayed the same. How can I change the network key on xp? | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 836745 | 2009-12-05 21:47:00 | One thing that comes to mind -- in the wireless configuration,(same place as you removed the other links) up top there will be the option / check box to use windows wireless configuration, instead of the netgear, try that. OR visa versa. Edited: doubt its the router, if the Windows 7 is showing / working OK. |

| 836746 | 2009-12-05 21:49:00 | Im using the windows wireless config since I cant install the drivers of the cd cuz this laptop does not have a cd bay. | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 836747 | 2009-12-05 21:50:00 | Also tried to delete the wireless connection and the delete option is greyed out. | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
