Hello Windows 7 users!
I had the same problem as nick4501. The thing is: I've tried many possible solutions, but none of them worked. I'll give you a brief overview of my 'pain in the *ss' route...
First, I updated my router's firmware. This can easily be done by searching the model on the net (using Bing or Google). When updating your router, don't forget to write down your provider information (I say this because I lost my papers with all the account information :)) because the router will be reset due to the update.
After that, I tried to reset my Wireless security. I read that WEP was not longer supported in Windows 7 (correct?), so it was obvious WPA would keep the intruders away. With all settings set, I tried to establish a connection. 'Could not connect with network xxx'.
Damn, I was disappointed! I turned of the security of my AP (Access Point) (so no WEP/WPA) and I was stunned. It worked!
So I looked in the list of configuration options of my AP-router. I saw a strange option called 802.1X Authentication. I turned it on (along with WPA security) and bam, everything worked like a charm!Hope this helps!
