Guest Mr Snoot Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I changed my router settings to wep/wpa personal/tkip from WPA2 personal/AES so I could connect Ubuntu from my garage wirelessly which works fine now. I then went to reconnect wirelessly from the dining room PC where I have Windows 7 installed in all its blazing glory, oozing of decades of wisdom, symbolizing the best our brightest minds had to offer. I opened network and sharing and clicked on manage wireless connections with a smirk of total satisfaction on my face knowing I was following a purely logical path to success as I changed those pesky settings to Exactly The Same Settings I Had Set My Router To and clicked connect... Well... maybe if I reboot...ok that didn't work so I will disable and re-enable the router (like a reboot somehow magically missed that). No? Recheck security settings...Yes, exactly what the router is set to. Big fat red X by router name and it says my current settings do not match the settings stored on this computer. Ok. I will delete this connection and start a fresh one....Nope. Same problem. Google the problem. HOLY... everybody and their Mother having the same problem with Win7. Guess I could wait around for the service pack to fix this bug or dig for the registry hack on Google. Don't bother replying to this as I will solve the problem like I always do. Its just sad to such highly paid professionals fail so miserably at such simple tasks. I'm a PC and I use Windows XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran Wise Registry Cleaner 4 and it solved my problem. I know some don't advocate using registry cleaners and for good reason, if you aren't careful you can hose your system. Couple good rules, do a restoration point in Windows before starting. Backup the registry before starting. If in doubt on whether to make a change in the registry, don't. This has always worked for me, YRMV. HTH, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Snoot Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply. I have used WRC default scan/clean on a 64bit Vista machine but it did not make it more reponsive as that was my goal. I would try it on Win 7 64bit but I was able to get my wireless working again after uninstalling the driver/utility for the N1MAC Ralink USB adapter and installing a Realtech USB adapter 802.11 b/g/n. I Also rebooted the router again, Asus RT-N12, which can be flaky at times and has slow LAN. Anyway its working. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are now running Macs and Linux. They said they did it because Windows is too INSECURE. Now if Google can't secure an install of Windows, who the fuck can? Course we all know the reason you keep posting your lies is because your livelihood depends on Windows. -- Alias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
