Key change for an existing XP wireless network

I am running Windows XP.  I needed to change the key for my wireless network.  He's changed on my router and my iPad & Windows 7 laptop computer can connect to it.  I can not find the screen on my XP machine, which allows me to change the key.  Can someone tell me where to find it?

What version of XP, including service pack (if of course, start > run > winver > OK)?

  • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  • Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties.
  • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab
  • You should look at this screen:   http://tinyurl.com/8lmz4
  • If you are not looking to the display shown in the screenshot or the box at the top to "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" is unchecked, STOP: you use a 3 rd-party utility to configure your wireless adapter and you need to figure out how to use that yourself or at least identification.
  • Assuming you use Windows to configure your wireless network card, find the SSID of your router (network name) in the list of preferred networks and 'delete '.
  • OK your way out.
  • Go to view available wireless networks, find yours, click connection and enter the new password when you are prompted.

Alternatively, instead of removing your network in the list of preferred networks, you can click 'Properties' and then change the key in the tab "Association."  I suggest that you remove the network and let Windows find just in case something other that the key has been changed (for example, the type of encryption or algorithm).

  • Problems with 9191 chassis for connection to a wireless network

    Hello

    I can't seem to connect a 9191 unit to our network wireless with WPA authentication mode. I am trying to connect to based on SonicWALL TZ 105 Wireless access point router. Our wireless network is configured with the WPA2-PSK security. When I go to the page of network configuration of 9191 our network appears, but then I get the error 'Invalid WEP Key' when I enter the security key and try to save the configuration (see picture). I tried to use the configuration according to MAX and the web. I have also established that the wireless connection can be done if I change the security mode of the router to WEP, but neighther WPA - PSK or WPA2-PSK work. I have not tried security modes of type business because they are not setup on our network. I tried to play with the WPA security settings, but did not have much chance.

    Any advice will be much appreciated!

    Kind regards

    Hi Misha.

    Apologies for not being clear - I was referring to the memory on the option of manual entry.

    Under network, select "other network".  This will allow to you manually type of entry security, SSID (network name) and WPA - PSK passphrase.

    Hello

    Hello, im having a problem going on with my wireless network and really need help. I have a pummel wireless "netgear" and I changed the administrative name and added own mt personal password or paraphrase 6 months ago when I 1st put in place... 2 months ago my son of 12 years told our nieghbors the password to our secure wifi network and now I need to change the password. We never had any connection problems or have been started our network then put on a random {no} unill 2 weeks after this password was compermized. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE SSID ROUTER PASSWORD? YOUR HELP WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!

    Open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The default username is admin and the default password is the password if you have not changed it. On the router configuration page, select 'Wireless Settings' in the left column. You can set up a new SSID, security type, and password here. If you have changed the default user name and the password to the router configuration page, use the reset button on the back of the router to reset to the factory settings and proceed as above.

  • Cannot change properties or remove any wireless network

    Hi all

    I can't change the properties or delete any saved in my laptop wireless network. I get an error message:"Windows has encountered an error in the recording of the wireless profile. "Error: access denied".

    I use Windows 7 Professional, logged as administrator. I've updated wireless drivers, but that has not helped.

    Because of this problem, I can not connect to a wireless network, whose password has been changed. When you try to change the password through the andSharingCenter network-> manage wireless networks, I get the above error message. I also tried to delete the network but could not, that nothing is happening, there is no error message, but the network is not removed.

    Can anyone help please?

  • looking for safety on public wireless networks

    Hello, I am a computer operating laptop dv7 and sometimes find me on official assistance (networks of coffee) is there a way to secure my spying eyes, maybe VPN data transmissions? Any thoughts appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As you mentioned in your post, a VPN is probably the best answer.  A good example of one is at the link below.  It requires no extra software because it is purely a network profile and is easily implemented.  To connect via VPN, just connect to the Public network and then start the VPN connection which then tunnels through the first connection, encrypt your connection between your PC and the VPN server.  It is an ideal solution to ensure your privacy and security when using public networks.  There are free versions (but often with ads, etc.), but the one on the link below costs about $40 per year according to the exchange rate.

    http://www.SwissVPN.NET/

    I've personally used this for the last three years and have always found it extremely reliable service.

    Another point to mention is that if you connect through your VPN at home, make sure that you have a software firewall installed (I think you already have anyway) as VPN often pass straight through the hardware firewall in routers.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes

  • For pavilion a6030n wireless network adapter

    Can anyone recommend a card for my Pavilion a6030n wireless network?  Maybe a good router too?

    Based on the specifications of your HP Pavilion a6030n desktop, you can use the traditional PCI cards and more recent PCIe wireless. In addition, you can also use an adapter without wire/USB dongle, if you do not want to open your computer.

    I would say get a dual band 802.11 wireless network card b/g/n at least, but you might want a wireless 802.11 adapter ac its better range and throughput. With respect to the router, I suggest to get an ac wireless router.

    802.11 b/g/n PCI/PCIe/adapters

    PCIe/USB 802.11 adapters

    routers wireless 802.11 ac

    In most cases, it is a configuration in the BIOS of the laptop that will solve the wireless by card.

    Then start the laptop enter in BIOS and look for an entry that configure the wireless to be all the time card.
