So usually I can tinker around with software problems until I get it working but this one just has me to the point of frustration and anger. I just got finished building my first PC with built in wifi. I had it for around a week and loved it with no problems. One day I come home from work and I can't connect to the internet.
Here's the weird part. I search for wifi points and can find 2. Both of these are mine, one is the main internet and the secondary is a backup that is vastly slower than the main source. I can see both of them, but it will only let me connect to the secondary one. When I tried to connect to the primary one it, it would create a third internet source named "NetworkProfile" and try to connect to it. I checked under the wifi manager and saw this was my primary internet, just with a different appearance. When I tried to connect to it, it wanted me to input my wifi password, so I did. It wouldn't accept it as the correct password. (Yes, it is correct. All my other devices are connecting without problems) After that refused to work I attempted to manually connect to the access point with it's settings. This worked... kind of. It let me log in with the password, but would afterwards just say "Cannot connect to wifi". After a little bit of anger it eventually came back on and the went back off again. No other devices have any sort of problem with that access point at any time. Just the desktop.
Don't know if these will help but...
PC specs:
AMD FX 6300
MSI ATX DDR 2133 Motherboard 970 GAMING
R9 270X
and using TP-LINK N900 as the wifi adapter.
My router is a linksys of some sort. Can't check right now.
EDIT: 2 more strange things to add would be this.
1. Soon after the third internet source "NetworkProfile" is created, it will then put a red X beside it and say "The settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network."
2. When I came to this site to ask this, it forced me to put in a captcha due to "Suspicious activity from my PC". Right after I ran a virus scan with Malware Bytes and nothing came up.
