I just formatted my drive and reinstalled windows 7.

I downloaded firefox and my printer drivers online while I was connected to my wireless internet. Today I cannot connect to my wireless internet. I tried deleting the network, but that didn't work. Now it wont let me put in my password to connect. I'm using a linksys card adapter and a xfinity router and it shows they are both using WPA2 with AES. Any suggestions?

When I restart the computer it connects to the wireless connection, but when I click on firefox or internet explorer it gives the connection a red X.

Other things I've Tried:
I restarted the modem/router
I tried to update driver for the card adapter and it was up to date.

Make wire connection to internet/LAN, Go to Device Manager> Network Adapters, right click then update.. Check if you can see yellow triangle as well.

If doesn't work, go to Linksys website and get driver specific to your card, check the Linksys label for exact model no.

Thanks Man. I had to go to the Linksys website and download the driver and update manually. Thanks for your knowledge!
