thoughts? - Windows 7? This might sound like a remedial and simple problem, but for some reason I am unable to connect to the wireless network in my house. I had recently put a computer upstairs, which ran on Windows XP. I was able to connect to our wireless network without any problem using our password. I recently installed Windows 7. Since then for some reason I am unable to connect to the network. I have gone and verifed the password needed to access the network (by logging in and viewing my actual router information and password), but when I head upstairs and try to connect and enter the password, it says it is an incorrect password or passphrase. It isn't though. The word is correct, as is the upper-case/lower-case stuff.
Could there be anything I am missing? I feel dumb in asking this question, but for the life of me can't figure it out. I am new to Windows 7, so that might be part of it.
I should state that if I set up the network downstairs for no security and make the connection accessible to anyone, I can log in upstairs. Once I re-select the WPA security features and the password, I cannot log in upstairs with the password.
Thank you for your help!
