Can't connect to wifi after changing it's password.

Nocko32 · Feb 11, 2017

I changed my Wifi password today and now I can't connect to the same wireless network. The notebook is stuck on "checking network requirements". It's not giving me a field to enter my wifi password. I also cannot forget the network as it's not showing up in known networks. I uninstalled the wireless driver and installed it again.
The notebook finds the wireless network but it's stuck on "checking network requirements", it's not letting me enter the new password.
I also tried to delete the profile from CMD but it didn't work. What can I do?
I am running 64bit Windows 10 on a HP Probook G0 notebook.

Remove it from "known networks" then retry.

forum rules does not permit to help you bypass password even if it is your system since we are not in direct contact and shure that your the real owner .

We're not trying to crack his password, we are trying to make his computer forget the wifi so he can enter the password again. Read the whole question.

he will have to delete all is wi-fi settings and restart system then redo a new wi-fi settings .

Might be easier (and more convenient) to change the router back to the old password, connect so it shows up in known networks, choose to forget it, then change the router password.

Or change the SSID of the router so the laptop doesn't try to connect with the old password.

I changed the SSID but I am still stuck at the "checking network requirements". I have an old macbook from 2009, two iPhones a galaxy s3 and a galaxy j5 which connect to the same router /wifi with no issues what so ever. I don't have the slightest clue what the issue could be...

scout_03 · Feb 11, 2017

the phone and mac connect check if the wireless device is not desacivated on pc .

How can I do that? It's enabled from device manager, if that's what you were referring to.

Nocko32 · Feb 11, 2017

I reset the router settings to default, changed the password and SSID again but I still can't get it to connect...

I tried connecting to a different router and it was pretty simple. I had to type in the password and that was that. As for my router, it's not giving me the option to enter a password, it's stuck checking the network requirements. Where does Windows 10 store all the information about the wifi settings? The only thing I can think of is to delete all the settings which Windows 10 has stored and see if this will solve my issue.

What type of WiFi security are you using on your router? WEP has been cracked, WPA has been deprecated (computers have gotten fast enough to brute-force crack it within hours). You should only be using WPA2 (personal since you are using a single password).

The encryption type should be AES only. Not TKIP, not TKIP+AES. Very old WiFi devices don't support AES (a hardware encryption/decryption system), so the standard was updated to add TKIP (a software encryption/decryption system).

TKIP was cracked several years back so you shouldn't be using it anymore. Some newer WiFi devices don't support TKIP for this reason; they only work with AES. So if your encryption is set to TKIP, these devices will not be able to connect while other devices can.

tl;dr - use WPA2 with AES-only.

I am using WPA+WPA2. It's a rather old Speedpost W503v router.

I tried connecting do more than 10 other Wifi networks today and had no issues what so ever.

scout_03 · Feb 13, 2017

i been looking at the manual so there could be a bad wireless configuration in router for your wireless device see page 38 of router manual also try it wired and get in the wireless settings to set it since it work on others network . https://www.telekom.de/hilfe/downloads/bedienungsanleitung_speedport_w503v_typa.pdf
