WPA Wireless connection problems

netdumdum

Good morning all,

Changed my Linksys router security from WEP to WPA as its meant to be more secure.

Entered in new password, all seemed to be ok.

Restarted pc and cannot connect to router, the only way to connect is to restart router????

Any ideas??

Is windows set to automatically connect to your router when in range?

Its is set to connect when in range, i know routers in range as connects fine when router is restarted.

If not already, try setting the router to broadcast SSID and see if that makes any difference.

When you reset the router did that clear the password, giving you an unsecured wireless connection? That could be why you can connect after it has been reset. Also did you change the setting on your computer to connec with WPA?

You might also need to update your wireless drivers - my older 802.11b needed the upgrading before it supported WPA.
