Lenovo with Windows 7 won't connect wireless with WRT160N V2. It won't accept my security code. I know it's the right code. I went into the IP/router manual. Something I'm missing?

The router is connected to a HP laptop already thru the router wirelessly. I can see my SSID and when prompt to enter my security key, it says "windows was unable to connect", and when I click to trouble shoot problems, it says window can't identify the problem. I'm using windows 7 with the Lenovo. Thanks.

    I know the security key is correct because I went intohttp://192.168.1.1 and checked.

    What encryption are you using? WPA,WPA2  etc. Some laptos will only recognize WEP, WPA personal or WPA2

    I'm using WPA. Do I need a driver for the new laptop? It shouldn't, right?

  • Anonymous Mar 25, 2012

    Ok, it's fixed. I had to change it to WPA 2 and it worked. Hope this helps others.

SOURCE: Windows 7 and D-Link DSL-2640R router.

Hi
I presume that your internet was working fine before you bought your new laptop. Unless you've done something to change it it should still be working as before.
You shouldn't need a CD - if you think about it you don't need a CD when you log in in Starbucks so why should you need one at home?
The only thing you need to know is the router's wireless name; Talktalk 12345etc, and its password - which is the password your son is using.
I can't explain why you can't connect when your son is connected - as the router should be able to host 253 laptops (very very slowly mind) - unless the router has been set with an access list that only allows his laptop to connect.

SOURCE: cant access internet but can connect to wireless TP-link router

Your friend is able to go online using the same wireless network. that means the wireless network is working properly and there might be a problem with your computer .
You said that you can connect to the wireless network but you can not go online.
Check the IP address and the default gateway of the computer.
Try to ping the router and DNS server and check what happens.
Make sure that there is no static IP address on the computer.

SOURCE: at&t wireless router and magic jack setup

It could be the router which is giving you issue. Press and hold the reset button for 30 second and this makes the configuration to go back to its previous settings. The reconfigure the router with a new SSID and security key. Try connecting to the wireless network, the computers will consider it as a new network and will connect without any issues

Have a Linksys Wireless router Model WRT160N Security is set at WPA2 Personal i can not get my new iPAD to connect when i diasable Security it connects I am looking for a suggestion I also need...

@joea1956

Try the following:

1. If you want WPA2 encryption on your router, (which also have higher security and compatibility issues with wireless cards), you could try WPA2-TKIP (which is standard encryption and made compatible for all wireless cards) or WPA2-AES (for specific wireless cards that are unable to connect to TKIP encryption)

2. If Step 1 won't work, try to lower your security encryption to WPA-PSK (either TKIP or AES) and try again. If this works, your IPAD2's wireless card doesn't support WPA2 encryption yet.

If all of the above fails, I do not recommend WEP since it's easily cracked (for advanced users) but you could try it as a last resort.


Good luck.
