Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. The problem with the connection is that you need to check if the Windows XP SP2 settings is the same with the router.
First you need to access the router settings page and check if the security is the same of the computer. Access the router type
192.168.1.1 then type admin for username and password for password. Select
Wireless Settings.
I need to verify if the Dot is on WPA2-PSK (AES).
If the settings is the same as above then we will configure the settings on your Windows XP Laptop.
- Go to
Control Panel,
Network Connection,
Right Click on
Wireless Network Connections then select
Properties.
- Click on the
Wireless Networks Tab on the
Wireless Network Connection Properties window.
- Hightlight the
SSID or
Your Network Name and the click on the
Properties Button.
- If your using WPA2 then change the dropdown to
WPA2-PSK if the option is available.
- Data Encryption is AES same with the router, then retype the
Network Key that you save on the router
- Then click Ok to close the window. Try to browse and hopefully this fix the issue.
If you have questions please let me know.
Thanks for using Fixya.
