Unable to connect to Office Wireless Network (802.1x) after Windows Update

Hi, my notebooks are on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. We have only recently started Windows Updates.
We are on a Wireless network 802.1x.
In the past, we are able to do the following steps :
1. Open the "connections are available" window by clicking on the wireless icon (signal bars with yellow sun)
2. Right click on the desired network and choose properties
3. Change settings (eg. MEAP or use local Windows credentials etc)
4. Click connect to connect
Now, from the "connections are available" window, when we right click on the desired Network, only "connect" is shown.
In this case, I cannot connect to the network as the settings are wrong, if I cannot connect to the network how do I change the settings ?
Please kindly advise

Hi,
I agree with britishdhez.
In addition, I would like to confirm which update caused this issue. Is it a driver update? I suggest installing driver update from the manufacturer's website.
You can also reinstall the wireless driver:
a. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
b. Expand "Network adaptor".
c. Right click on your network card and then click Uninstall
d. Remove the driver software at the same time.
After that, restart the computer and reinstall the network card driver.
Meanwhile, you may run the Network troubleshooter to see if it can help diagnose and solve your problem:
Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-sg/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
Also, please remove the wireless network profile for a test.
Delete a profile
At the command prompt ( Win+ R-->CMD ), type:
netsh wlan delete profile name="ProfileName"
For you reference: Netsh Commands for Wireless Local Area Network (wlan)

I'm unable to connect to my wireless network

I am unable to connect to my wireless network on my iphone 4. It worked previously. My husband has no problem with his iphone connecting.

Same here. Upgraded 2 separate iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now both get an error that say "incorrect password" when trying to connect. iPad 1 upgraded to iOS5 and all 3 macs connect fine using same password. (Router is Apple Airport base station running 7.5.2)

Macbook air is unable to connect on hidden wireless network

Dear users and support,
I have just bought my macbook air with lion os already installed, but I am unable to connect to hidden wireless network. Is there any trick to fix it? even though I am typing the name and password it's unable to login.
Please advice.
tks,

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Reset the System Management Controller.

Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

Unable to connect laptop to wireless network

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my wireless network, but my iPad does so I know it must be a problem with my computer rather than the network. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure if there is some obscure setting that I need to change.

Give us more information, please.
Is your wireless network supplied by your ISP, your landlord, your own router, or something else?
What can you tell us about the settings on your wireless network? (Not the passwords.)
Did this ever work, or is this the first time you have tried to connect the MBP to this wireless network?
What model/year MBP is this? It has to be somewhat old if it is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as per your profile.

Macbook (10.4.11) unable to connect to one wireless network

We have one student who is unable to connect to our student wireless network. He's using a Macbook (black) with 10.4.11 and all updates. He's got a stock Airport card. We have an Airport Extreme broadcasting the network. Other students are able to connect without any problem. He's able to connect to our teacher's network without any problem.
When we try to connect his airport to the student network, it reports "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'Riverstone Students'." No further information is provided. I've tried removing it from his preferred networks, removing the key from the keychain, and reconnecting, but no change.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

Just found out a little info about my work network. We are using a SMC Network 8014 W-G broadband modem and a Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point, and the security is WEP. I have tried to login to the device webpage to check/adjust settings but nobody here knows the password and "admin" doesn't work. I really don't want to do a hard reset and take the chance of screwing up the network for everybody in the office (apparently it was quite complicated to set up when they first installed it, I wasn't around then). Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks

Unable to connect to new wireless network in Mountain Lion with Photosmart C4780

I have a Photosmart C4780 and have just upgraded my imac to Mountain Lion. HP are not providing new drivers for my printer as they say it will work with Mountain Lion. I have downloaded software updates. However, I have just changed my wireless network as I have a new broadband provider but am unable to connect to it. My problem is that the set up assistant software provided which I used originally to set up does not work with Mountain Lion.
Any ideas please?

I have solved my problem, I've bought an Epson. It works perfectly. If HP can treat their customers with such disinterest and contempt I don't want to give them my money.

Why is my iphone 4 unable to connect to my wireless network?

When I try to join my wireless network it say ' unable to join network' . I had no problem connecting with my laptop.

Try rebooting the router. Just unplug the power for a few seconds and reconnect. It does no harm.

CISCO WIP310 unable to connect to any wireless network

Hi all,
I just purchased a brand new WIP310 phone. I followed User Guide instructions on how to join the phone to a wireless network but I always get a "failure connecting to the router" message. I do have a CISCO 1841 with HWIC-AP-G-E card and I created an open SSID for the phone. The SSID is actually not broadcasted, but I get the same failure message from the phone even when the SSID is broadcasted. The SSID is completely open, no security at all. I tried switching the Dot11Radio Interface to any possible radio channel, from 1 to 13. Again same result. The phone is running firmware 5.0.8 and when I try to upgrade it, I get a success message from the gui, but rebooting the phone always shows the same old firmware. Any idea? I even tried several Access Point with the same bad result. Thanks

Hi Marco,
actually it took me quite a long time to understand what the problem was. I found that on my CISCO AP i had to put "payload-encapsulation dot1h" on the radio interface to get the WIP310 communicate with the AP.
By the way It seems to me that the phone is a little buggy from the wireless point of view. Sometimes i have to try several times before getting the phone connected to the AP. Once the phone gets connected it's pretty stable, but getting it connected it's a nightmare :-)
Try with the above ption if you have a Cisco AP. Also try different channels on the AP...it might help
Hope this will help you
regards
Nicola

Dropping Connection with My Two Networked XP SP2 Machines, Windows Update Issue???

Sorry to interject a completely different problem here, but I have experienced the following.
Blame me for the newb I am, but here is what I did after repeatedly losing conn and thinking that my modem was burned up after 2 years of use:
1) Attempted to buy a new DSL modem on Easter Sunday...good luck...
2) Went back home after not finding said modem to find connection working again
3) Wife did not use her desktop for 10 days due medical procedure (no connection problems)
4) Wife gets better, uses her networked computer, I start losing connection again.
5) Not realizing step 4, I call ATT dsl and am told, maybe you need a new filter on your DSL line. DL speeds return to proper speeds, think I am fine.
6) Wife uses Outlook 18 hours later while I am on my networked machine, we both lose connection
7) After reconnecting all possible wires, realize maybe the problem is with the latest Windows Update Patch OR a router problem
8) Go to my trusty Best Buy contact at nearby store, named Jason, and ask Jason if he has heard anything like this in the last 6 weeks...He THANKED ME PROFUSELY as he and his brother were experiencing the SAME networking problem. Jason removed the past 7 windows update patches and that removed the problem for him.
He has since turned off Windows Updates. Jason said that a couple of the update patches could not be uninstalled, but the 7 or so that could be uninstalled did the trick and he has not had dropped connections since.
Anyone else experiencing this? I talked to a cable modem user/friend and he has been experiencing similar problems but the Microsoft utility with his router allows him to double click to re-establish a connection, unlike me who has to power everything down, count to sixty, and power up.
(I have not yet uninstalled the patches but wondering what others have seen)
Thanks for the posts peeps!

Hello,
Is DEP enabled on the ThinkPad T30? If so, does disabling it make any difference?

Unable to connect to unprotected wireless network

A couple of months ago, I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.4) from Tiger with the Mac Box Set. Ever since then, I have had a pretty mysterious problem: the wireless internet in my apartment, only for MY computer, is extremely unreliable, allowing me to connect about 5-10% of the time.
I have 3 roommates, running Leopard, Tiger, and Windows Vista. They have all had no problems throughout my battle with our router. The default protection was WEP,and I had read in some forums that snow leopard has problems with WEP, so I changed the security to WPA. That worked for a bit, but a day or two later, no chance.
I can always see the network as an option, see that it has a significantly strong signal, and am just not able to connect. I guess pretty much what happens if you type in the wrong password.
So, after this disappointing turn, we decided to try it with no password at all. Great. That worked too. For a day or so. Then, same problem. Can't connect, although my computer obviously sees that the network is active.
This is probably my favorite part: when I run diagnostics or setup, I am told that I might have the wrong password. Oh, the frustration!
I have dumped preferences, deleted locations, deleted airport, etc etc to no avail. As with the network tooling, it occasionally works for a day or a few hours and then the problem returns.
The other three computers in the house have no problem connecting. Full connection. So odd.
Even stranger? My computer connects just fine everywhere else. WPA2,802.1x, WEP. It's just at my house.
I've also tried changing the channel, which has worked, again, sometimes for a day or so, sometimes not at all.
Oh, also lovely - occasionally, it just mysteriously works. IE, it has not connected for a week, I turn it on, and it's magically connected. No changes to settings, no restarting even. (which I have obviously also tried).
At this point, I am convinced it's haunted, becuase, knowledge of wireless technology or not, there seems to be very little logic in the situation.
I've talked to the router people, service people, etc, read the manuals, etc etc, but the people are all sure it's my computer because my roommates' computers work, but I'm sure it has something to do with them, because I can connect elsewhere. So any tips on router settings I may not have thought of are also welcome. Very confusing.
please help!

Try Static IP address and update to 10.6.5 with combo update.

My ipod says its unable to connect with my wireless network at home

Hi,
There might be a problem with your router. On your iPod, under Settings>Wi-fi, tap the blue arrow next to your network. What does the IP Address begin with?
Hope this helps!

Unable to connect to home wireless network

Hi -
I just got my 16mb Iphone 3G and tired to get it to sign on to the wifi network at home. It sees the ssid but just won't sign on. I have a open network, so there shouldn't be anything that will prevent it from getting on to the network. Please advise

When you try to select your network name on your iPhone, does the phone then show a tick next to the network name? If it does, then tap the clue arrow and see if your phone has a registered IP address. If it doesn't, then check out the various articles on the apple support site.
If it does show an IP address but still won't connect to the internet, itunes or app shop etc, then it may be a wlan b/g problem that people have recently started mentioning. Check out the other posts for more info on that.

Unable to Connect Using New AirPort Express 802.11n

My mom purchased an AirPort Express 802.11n wireless router (AX) and I, as the designated "technology guru", was tasked with setting it up. Unfortunately, I am having problems out of the box.
When I connect it to the wall, it is found by AirPort Utility, but when I try to set it up, it is unable to connect to the wireless network. ("An error occurred joining the selected wireless network." "An error occurred, close the configuration window and try again.") This is annoying because I have an older AX and it was true to the "it just works" Apple mantra. It is also annoying because the error message has a comma splice.
Feeling pretty proud of my "technology guru" title, I come here to see what I could be doing wrong. I try connecting the computer directly to the router via ethernet cable. With this, I am able to setup my wireless network. I am still not able to connect to it. Additionally, once the AX has been configured, the AirPort Utility can't find it.
I tried updating firmware to 7.5.2. I've tried downgrading to 7.3.2. I've tried hard resets, soft resets. Every tip I could find I have tried. Please help. My self-confidence is wearing out.
Is it time for a call to Apple or a visit to the Apple Store?

Are you trying to configure the Express to "join" the wireless network?
If yes, the message you are receiving is likely an indication that you do not have the correct security settings selected for the Express. Unless the security settings between the wireless router and Express match up exactly, the Express will display the error that "an error occurred, etc".
The easiest way to confirm if you have this problem is temporarily set the main wireless router to "no security" and try to connect the Express that way. If you can connect, then you know that it is a security issue.
Please tell us the exact setting for security that the wireless router there is using and we'll try to give you some more ideas.
The Express will connect. It's just a matter of finding the right settings.
