Hello,
I am unable to connect wireless to router/internet (Net Gear) from XP laptop but not from Windows 8 laptop. The login authentication fails. Can you let me know how to fix this.
Thanks
 
Are you 100% you entered the info correctly.

You also have to ensure they both support the same wireless security(WEP/WPA/ECT. WEP sucks so use WPA/WPA2 if your can).

A test would be to change the wireless key in the router and try again, just in case you are not typing it right. I use wireless so infrequently that sometimes I forget my own key when I have to add a device :)
