I have an HP G60 Series 507-DX, PC, Win 7 64 bit and have a stock Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g/n stock network card installed under the laptop in a motherboard slot beneath a plastic cover on laptop bottom. I can connect to the new wireless system using only guest/visitor unsecured network links. I can not connect to the network under a secure link. I get a "authentication failed" error when attempting to connect to the secured link under student.
After working with a college tech specialist for 1.5 hours in my network settings, advanced / other, we found that no cisco peap was available to be selected in my network settings/ preferences/advanced settings area. They are using WPA2-Enterprize for their secure connection definition type. We searched for cisco peap which they say I need but it is not there in my network card choices for It to be selected. The tech team states that I need to buy an IO 625 network adapter to fix this from the bookstore to fix this issue. Doing this I would need to occupy a USB port and buy the adapter.
Can I source a download to fix this issue? If not can I buy a new mini network card or full 1X card to fix this?
There is room in the card area under my laptop for the 1X size card, according to a blog I read, but we know the accuracy of blogs, right!
If a new network mini card or 1X card will work, to resolve my no secure connect issue, can I get one that is also Bluetooth capable. Because I don't have that and if I buy a new card, I should attempt to add that in the cards capabilities as well If I am going new?
So I am searching for a download as a condition fix, or, a mini or 1X card, capable of cisco peap & Bluetooth which would replace my stock Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g/n network adapter, which is currently in my G60 507DX series pc. I hope I got all the details in that are needed to resolve this because I am not Cisco Certified or A+ for that matter, just an intermediate end user here. Thanks for everyone's help and reply here, and all have a great day as well !
