Wi-fi problem
Hi, I have a small Wi-fi problem with one of the households laptops.
We have 4 computers in our house: 3. Laptops and 1. PC
Here are some details about each computers which you might want to know:
------------------------------------
The PC:
HP COMPAQ 9500
Windows XP Professional v2002 SP3
Intel ( R ) PRO / 100 VE Network Connection
Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN Card
The Laptops:
HP mini note
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition - 32 bit
Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter
Broadcom NetLink ( TM ) Gigabit Ethernet
Macbook 13
Mac OS X - 10.5.8
AirPort Extreme ( 0x168C, 0x87 )
autofs
HP nw9440
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition - 32 bit
Intel (R) PRO / Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Router:
SMC 7904WBRA
Download Speed: 4.19Mb/s
Upload Speed: 0.48Mb/s
WPA security
------------------------------------
Now when you know all this I can come to my question.
- I recently added a password to our router
And everything workout great, except for the HP nw9440, Because every time I try to connect to our Wi-Fi it just gives me a Troubleshoot and then later on it will connect.
I know it isn't anything with the router itself because:
1. It worked perfectly before
2. It works perfectly on every other computer in the house
3. If I connect the HP nw9440 to the router using a cable it works perfectly.
I set all the requirements as it has to be to be able to connect to the router, that meaning: I have done:
- The WPA - PSK + the password
- Even set the Name manually.
But still I get the Troubleshoot ( and only on this laptop ).
P.S: The HP nw9440 had no problems with the Wi-Fi before I added the pasword.
So if anyone knows the answer, I would really love to know what it is
Thank you for your time
