Title: Can't connect to secure wireless internet.
Post by: riso on May 09, 2009, 09:39:33 PM
Question: I have recently installed Windows 7 RC 64 bit. Everything works good, except for my wireless internet connection.

I have a linksys router (WRT160N) and a linksys adapter in de pc (WUSB600N).
I use WPA2 security for my wireless connection.

The first problem is that the pc can't always find my router.

When the pc is trying to connect to the router, my security key is asked for. When I type it in, I get the message Passphrase incorrect, but i'm 100% certain that it is correct.
In an other topic in the forum someone had the same problem, but this was resolved by pressing the button on his router looking like a refrech button. This doesn't work for me. When I press this button, the pc is connecting, but returns an error, connection failed or sometihing like that.

When I set my router to unsecure the pc connects to the router without a problem, but off course i don't want my wireless to be unsecured.

When I put the router to WEP security, I don't even get t the point where I have to put in my security key. So that also doesn't work.

I found that Windows 7 detects my wireless signal as WEP but the modem / router is set WPA-PSK AES. With VISTA everything works correctly ....! It will be a bug?

Answer: Sure it seems to be a bug
