Hi Chev...appreciate your time and the info.
Interesting this router appears to have so many 'issues'. However, as far as my router's particular password is concerned, there are no special characters involved so again, why Win7 won't accept it is the continuing and really annoying mystery. As I said, using Ethernet cable, no need for password, so no problem connecting. Also, to get into the settings and check etc 'admin' is used as normal. Interesting, though, that 'supervisor' appears to work also. So still no further forward... |

If using supervisor works to access the router then what is the problem? |

Hi again Chev...bit of a mis-communication I think. I didn't mean I'd actually tried 'supervisor'. Didn't need to since 'admin' works as normal. I only used the Ethernet connection in the first place to ensure the password that shows there is the same as that on the back of the router. It is...
Keyboard works fine, but I see your point there...Did actually change the keyboard at one point in this saga without any joy. I really did think that both Win7 AND the router would have to exchange the password info...The router worked fine with a tablet, remember. That left Win7...Or, as a long shot, could it be my wireless adapter despite it never skipping a beat, even now? |

Well the browser which I assume is IE 10 or 11, may have a compatibility problem with your router page, I had a similar problem with my router where the buttons didn't work unless I used compatibility mode. In this case you could try going into the Internet options of IE' upper right, Tools>then choose compatibility settings while you are on the routers page try setting that page to use compatibility mode and see if that helps. |

I remember one time I kept getting this issue until I realized I had my caps lock pressed and the router would not accept the input password. Or perhaps it's an issue with your keyboard? Do you have a spare you can try?

Hi Chev...thanks again for your time.
1. Windows 7 recognises the router (its SSID) but rejects what is the correct password, properly typed and tested on another keyboard just in case. That's the one and only problem. The router works via Ethernet fine but not of course wirelessly because of the password. This despite the router operating wirelessly when using a tablet, connected using the same password as Win7 is rejecting. 2. As for the browser: I've not used IE for many years. Always Firefox for me. Occasionally Chrome. Since Firefox has worked flawlessly with all previous routers there can't be a problem with my browser. For crankypenguin: thanks for your input, but as above, already tried different keyboard etc. It's not a problem with wrong case or keyboard. Just rejection of the correct password. The saga continues....GRRRRRRRRR! |

I don't see this in earlier posts, but, when you say "correct password" do you mean the case-sensitive Security Key? Ours is a 16 digit alpha-numeric Key, and if you don't have that right you won't be able to connect wirelessly. Your tablet may have automatically found the key the first time it connected, that's why its working.
I don't have wireless on my desktop so I can't help with any settings from my end, but I do have a verizon wi-fi router. You would need to get the security key from your router and apply it to the proper setting on one of your adapter settings pages. My wife could see the SSID, but couldn't connect her nook or phone wirelessly until I found that and applied that key to her devices. I just checked, do you have the manual for the hg533? Start at chapter 3.2 Setting Up a Wireless Connection Manually. Quote:
The WLAN name (SSID) and WLAN access password of the HG533
are preset before delivery. You can find them from the label on the bottom of the HG533. Source: Downloads - Huawei Device Co., Ltd.. |

Thanks for the input, Anak...Yes, the 'security key = password', always typed in correctly. No joy ever.
Appreciate the manual, Anak, as I didn't actually have one. Read it carefully, checked everything - yet again!...Still zilch...same problem. Remember I'd double-checked the password by connecting the 533 via Ethernet cable and entering the settings that way to check it. It was exact. Chev: thanks again but I've already tried that, ensuring I ditched every profile I had, so that in 'Manage Wireless Networks' nothing there. Tried to connect the 533...well you know the rest. When I reconnected the 523 (ie my 'current' router) its password was recognised every time...That' why I'm able to be online at all. I did try with another brand-new router lent to me by a friend over this weekend: same result...password not accepted....even though typed in correctly, so surely it has to be something within Win7 that's not 'allowing' the password? |

My administrative password is not being accepted The lid on my HP laptop slammed shut and now my password is not being accepted. (I will never password protect another computer). It doesn't give me any instructions on what I need to do to fix this problem. I cannot do virus scans, defrag or anything. Any suggestions? |

Router Password? OK, not quite a Windows 7 issue, but since this appears to be such a knowledgeable place I thought I'd ask here first - a client has a router that someone else installed, and who is no longer available through any means, apparently. They have a Draytek Vigor 2820 router, which works well, and also... |
