wireless wep can't connect in x64

Hi, cwzkevin,

Can you please report this thread as solved (with the green checkmark on the title) so other users can go straight into it if they run into similar issues as us?

BTW: it is still working like a charm, even after some reboots. MS should definitely use the WinXP x64 drivers for Windows 7, that one they put available through Windows Update doesn't work at all, looks like nobody tested and put it available there.

Cheers

I want it to put "solved", just don't know how to do so.

About the driver, I think they just forget to test WEP, such an old method. Since if I use the seven driver, it works with WPA & WPA2.

Good Lord Microsoft really doesn't want you using WEP in Windows 7. They make you jump through some hoops to get it connected, but I can't complain. It's a good thing really. They pretty much suggest you set your router to at least WPA. I got it connected to a WEP shared-key network, but it took some footwork.

Hi everybody.I have windows 7 build 7201 - x64.I use X-micro Wlan 11g USB adapter to connect to my network.I use crypto router.I have a notebook too - sony vaio with vista x86 home edition and i connect to the router without problem.But on windows 7 it detects the network and when i try to connect it tells me that i can't.I run the troubleshooter but it only reset the network cards.I can connect to the neighbour`s router without problem... so can anybody helm me ?

Hi,

I am encountering the same problem as the original poster, so I followed the solution, but the problem comes when I try to get Windows 7 to use the new win Xp x64 drivers, it simply refuses the request because it states that I am already using the correct, most up to date, driver. Also there is no option to force the change, at least through the various screens I can access.

If there is a way to enforce the driver change, please could someone post a method?

NB I can not use WPA-PSK, because of oldish Belkin NIC on another computer on the network.

Thanks,

PJ

PJ,

The solution is in this thread. Read post #8. I faced the same problem as you (W7 not letting me force-update the drivers), then I got to update it through the steps written on the post #8.

Hi, RAF2

So, Device Manager, the Wireless Card, Update Driver, Browse my computer, Let me pick from a list, Have Disk, then locate the unpacked folder of WinXP64

About the driver, Realtek
