Windows 7 laptop does not connect to Wifi when the WPA2 security is Active

I have a rather unusual problem that my Compaq CQ56 laptop not not connect to my router, ASUS RT-AC56U Wi - Fi when WPA 2 security is active on the router. With WPA2 is off, it connects without a problem. But, when I turn it on WPA2 on it will not connect. This problem persists even if I change the WPA2 authentication code. All other devices at home are able to connect with the wifi with WPA2 enbabled router, and this particular laptop was able to do so until very recently.

Just to make sure that the adapter in the Compaq works, I just went to Starbucks and it connected to their wifi unsecured without problem.

I was using a TP-Link Wireless Range extender on the home network, but it was deleted.

I ran the network troubleshooting and Fix - It nothing works.

I suspect that for my home network installation file was corrupted on this laptop and I would like to know if there is a way to remove, or edit this file and start from scratch. I have a Compaq laptop earlier generation linking problem now. So I'm pretty a connection file corrupted is the problem. Just need to know how to solve this problem.

Thanks for any help!

  • My Windows XP laptop does not connect to my 2WIRE router wireless, but do my other laptops. It will only connect with the ethernet cable. What is the problem?

    What I'm doing.

    1. my laptop is a Toshiba XP

    What serial number and model of Toshiba?

    What type of encryption 2wire router uses for now? Type of WEP or WPA? If the latter do you know if your XP laptop wireless card supports WPA (some older cards only). If you find that this is the problem, you can go to the WEP encryption or buy a WPA compatible device to use instead of the current device on the XP laptop.

    If you don't know how to find this information...

    The range and the model are probably on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

    I think that there is a sticker on the side of 2wire routers (leastways are those provided by BT) gives you the encryption key and this might also state what is the type of encryption. Or, if not, open a web browser such as internet explore/firefox etc and go to http://gateway.2wire.net, somewhere on the router admin pages, you will find information on wireless security/encryption.

    Regarding the card laptop wireless, I can help with this if you give me the range and the model as requested above. I can, also, be able to determine from the description of the device in Device Manager. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Network adapters (click on +) and transcribe the wireless adapter that there are listed in a response to this post.

  • Problem with my Acer laptop does not connect to my home network.

    Hello

    I had a problem with my laptop. The laptop does not connect to my home network.

    I found the wireless network, but when I hit enter after entering the password (), suddenly a pop up come that said "Windows could not connect to the network". The laptop connects well with portable hotspot in my phone (3 G Tethering). But my phone (Samsung Galaxy Pocket) connects to the home network.

    My specs:

    Acer Aspire 4250 ongoing Windows 7 SP1.

    Dlink DSL-2730u (secure wifi with WEP 128 bit key)

    Please solve my problem...

    Original title: problems with my Acer laptop

    Guess - encryption levels are the same. E.g. is your set of router that you use WEP only but your PC configured to use WPA only? http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-HK/Windows7/set-up-a-security-key-for-a-wireless-network

    If this is the case try to configure WPA2 or WPA rather than fall to WEP.

    Check all the other related settings as well. knowledge is the router using MAC filtering, are there available IP address so that it can allocate? (some routers are possible to limit the amount of IP address, they can allocate at one time).

    Second, if it does not remove the encryption all and see if it connects then. JUST AS a TEST, do not leave it.

  • Laptop does not connect to the internet, office. Both use the same router. Tried troubleshooting, does not. Help!

My wireless adapter on the laptop is on, I tried troubleshooting. I tried to turn it off for 30 seconds then restart him. But nothing is resolved the problem. Any ideas would be helpful! Thank you

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    My HP Pavilion dm1 is not connecting to the internet.  I know it's a older laptop (I bought it in 2011) but everything has worked very well so far.  It shows my network is available and I was able to access the internet from my phone to my roommate, but my laptop does not connect.  I have tried all the usual stuff... rebooted the laptop several times, ran troubleshooting, unplugged the router and the modem.  I noticed it happened after I installed an update of Windows, so I uninstalled the updates and still no luck.  What should I try next?

  • Compaq CQ58 computer 301SA laptop does not connect to 50Ghz band on router

    My laptop does not connect to the band 50Ghz on my router dual-band. I know that my router Netgear dual band diffuse 24 and 50 Ghz, but the laptop only shows the 24 Ghz band depending on availability.

    I have a Compaq CQ58 301SA Notebook PC, Windows 8 (64 bit OS).  It has a Ralink RT5390R 802 11bgn network adapter and a Realtek ethernet network adapter. I use the laptop wireless, for example using the Ralink connection and it connects easily to the 24 GHz band, but I want to broadcast TV programs and movies smoothly, for which, I understand that the 50Ghz band is preferable. I pay my ISP (Virgin Media) for a connection to Super-fast broadband but my laptop seems to be limited to the 24 GHz band. Seems to be the case if I work with the adapter Ralink wireless or wired with Realtek ethernet connection.

    This problem can be corrected? If so, how? What I have done research on the web, the problem seems to be network adapters. Can they work on the 50Ghz band? Or do I need to download another adapter (if so, which?) Or use an adapter external network I plug into a USB port?

    Driving me crazy...

    Hello:

    The Ralink RT5390R 802 11bgn is a map of the only band (2.4 GHz) only.

    Whenever you see a labeled bgn wireless card, it is a single band card.

    Cards labeled dual band abgn or agn.

    The maintenance manual (Chapter 3, page 19) does not indicate that any internal dual band card is supported, so you would probably have to go with an external usb dual wireless adapter.
