put my question here in about trying to connect to my network but not getting any replies ,is there anyone out there that can help

Is this a continuation of the problem you posted on 7 FEB?

If so, please provide more information about your problem.

Is this a secure network (using WEP, WPA, etc)? Are you drivers up to date? Can you connect to any other networks (like open ones)?

What operating system are you using?

Please clarify.

everything is up to date, connect to wire and updated everything today... again..., my network is using WEP, and it was connected to another network before i brought it home, and I'm using win 7. When I tried to manually add a preferred network it won't accept my security key..it says (it's not strong enough) but it is the one using. Also there are other laptops and tablets using the same security key ( one is using win 7 and the other win 8) ..when I try to connect automatically it won't accept it there either, and if it do get past that it says attempting to authenticate. I've been to the router page and check everything ,looked at the security on another laptop that is connected and everything is the same ...I hope this enough info..don't think that I'm forgetting anything...

Make sure you are entering the password/passphrase correctly as either hex or ascii. Also, you should stop using WEP (it is nearly worthless) and change to WPA.

COLGeek :

Yes my security key is correct, it's all numbers... Even check it out on the other laptops and it's the same.... Thanks

COLGeek · Feb 20, 2014

Are you entering as hexadecimal or ASCII?

bllfwr · Feb 20, 2014

COLGeek :

Just putting in 8, regular basic numbers... Thanks

COLGeek · Feb 20, 2014

Are you displaying the numbers as you enter them (vice just showing as dots)? Is your NUM LOCK enabled?

Also, when you scan for new wireless networks, does yours show up?

bllfwr · Feb 20, 2014

COLGeek :

Oh yeah, can see the numbers, and the network shows up high strength.. All that is fine. It was working on wifi at another location, and the other devices that are here are working with the security key, even double checked the security information on another laptop... But it also comes up when it does try to connect that it's attempting to authenticate...

Change your router's security method to WPA and try a new connection on all devices. Security would be better and you might resolve this issue in the process.

COLGeek :

So your saying that I'm going to have to change all the security settings for the rest of my devices just to fix one... Seems like alot of trouble.. Is there anything else that I could do.... Half afraid that I will fool up the other devices..

COLGeek · Feb 21, 2014

Using WEP is almost like using nothing.

You could change the WEP password on your router and try that with the offending system (and all of your others), but you would still have an issue of using WEP.

This still sounds like an issue entering the password. Sorry.

bllfwr · Feb 21, 2014

COLGeek :

Well thanks for the advice... Not sure how it would be a password. Problem. It is put in correctly

COLGeek · Feb 21, 2014

Had another thought...

What operating system is installed on the system in question? What make/model of wireless adapter is it using? Are the drivers up to date?

What is the make/model of your router?

bllfwr · Feb 22, 2014

COLGeek :

the system is Win. 7 and the router is a Linksys Sisco , and Ralink 802.11n Wireless LAN...is that what you are looking for
