Hello,
I have a Netgear WG311v3 wireless network adapter. It used to work fine for a few months. Then it stopped connecting to encrypted networks. It only connects to 'open' wifi networks!
In the start, I used the adapter to connect to a WPA2-Personal Network. Now it only connects if the authentication is set to 'Open System' in my router. The router is ASUS RT-G32 (frimware - V3.0.2.1_RU09).
When I try to connect to my phone's (WT19i) hotspot it's the same story. It can only connect when authentication is set to 'open'. But it USED TO connect to my phone's hotspot even when its authentication is set to 'WPA PSK' or 'WPA2 PSK'.
I am sure the router (RT-G32) has no problem since my phone can connect to it regardless of the authentication method of the WiFi network.
I reinstalled windows (tried 7 and 8), tried in Ubuntu (can't even get to recognize it. There is a guide for it, but it only supports 'open' wifi. So kinda beats the purpose). I use the latest drivers for the adapter (WG311v3).
What seems to be the problem? Is there a way I can connect to a protected WiFi?
UPDATE : My wireless adapter does connect to an encrypted network. But it says 'No Internet Access', apparently it has 'Network Access'.
