I have a Dell Latitude E6530 laptop with Windows 7 that I use for work and at home, but I'm having trouble connecting to my home network. I have the latest drivers installed for my network adapter, which is an 'Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205'. I use WPA2-P if that matters.
When I go to work I connect using an Ethernet cable and it works fine, but when I come back home and I connect to my wifi network, it asks me for my password and then tells me it couldn't connect. I either have to:
A) Go through the automatic Windows troubleshooting which takes forever but usually (not all the time) fixes my problem,
or
B) Make a wireless profile for my network every time I want to connect.
My problem is that my wireless profile gets deleted every time I disconnect from my network, so when I reconnect I have to make a new profile. What I find weird is that a new profile pops up every time. This profile belongs to a wifi network that I used when I went on vacation a couple months ago. I deleted it various times but it keeps coming back up when I try to reconnect. I also had another profile that belonged to another network, but that one I deleted once and it never came back up. It's just that one particular profile that I can't delete.
Is there a reason to why none of my changes to the profiles are saving? Why is it giving me an error when I try to connect every time, I thought it automatically made a new profile?
I looked at other threads that just recommended a system restore but that's not an option for me.
