    Can't connect to Unsecured Networks.


    Hi,

    For some reason I can't connect to a unsecured network on Win7.

    The signal is 'Good', and it's a hotspot. I try to connect to it, I just get

    "Windows was unable to connect to network-name."

    I troubleshoot, but it just tells me to reset the router, but it's not even my AP.

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Are you using a Static IP? Try changing it to automatically obtain an IP address: Change TCP/IP settings
