WRT160N, WEP works but WPA doesn't, please help!

Hello all,
I have a somewhat strange problem, that I have been trying to troubleshoot for some time, and still cannot figure out, and was looking to get some advice.
Anyways, I have a WRT160N Linksys Router, that works fine wirelessly in non-secure and WEP security modes, but I cannot get it working correctly in either WPA or WPA2 security modes.
The setup of my computer in my apartment means at the moment I cannot use a wired connection to do the inital setup of my router...everything has to be done wirelessly. So after a fresh factory-reset of my router, I go into the Windows 7 Network and Sharing Center, set up a new wireless connection, punch in the Router PIN, and initally setup my connection with no security. It connects to the internet just fine. From there, I go into my router settings vis'-a-vis' 192.168.1.1, and change the wireless security from disabled, to WEP, put in a password, and apply the settings. I then alter my network profile within the Network and Sharing Center for my wireless network and make sure that its settings match my router's settings. Once again, everything works great and internet performance is good.
However, when I instead change my router's security to WPA or WPA2 using the above method, instead of WEP, I cannot get it working correctly. I change my network profile to match my router's WPA/WPA2 setting, but I either get an ip error, or it won't let me connect to my network, giving me the following error message...."The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network", even though I am certain the settings on my router match the settings I am inputing into the Windows Network and Sharing Center. There was one time where I was actually able to get it work in WPA and I was browsing the internet just fine...and my network details in my connection list showed my network was WPA2-PSK, but after a few minutes, the connection disconnected, and I got the 'The settings saved do my match' error message again.
Are there any special steps I have to take to delete old settings or some special configuration I have to do within Windows to get it to talk to my router correctly when I enable WPA or WPA2? It seems odd to me that everything works fine in no security or WEP, but WPA/WPA2 seem flaky.
Any information would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

First of all do not do any settings on your Router from the wireless computer...it can damage your router.
Connect any computer to your Router and do the folowing settings...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
NOTE** : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters and it is case sensitive ...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Properties. Click the Driver tab and then click 'Update driver'. Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and then select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'. Left click 'High Definition Audio Device' once to highlight it and then click the Next button to install it.
Has this made any difference?

Base Station appears to work but no internet? Please HELP!

Last night my internet and email was working fine. This morning I got no signal. I called the cable company and went through their diagnostics and determined that it is the Base Station I'm having problems with. When the modem is connected directly to my computer everything works fine, when I use the wireless I can't get on the internet or get email. The strange thing is that it says my airport is working and connected to the network. It also says that the basestation is connected to the internet but when I try to open a page I get nothing. Any suggestions?

I tried to setup my mother in laws brand new iBook, airport express and modem yesterday. I got it working when connected to the modem over ethernet and then set about adding the airport express. The first thing it did was upload verion 5.6 of the firmware and I then spend a number of hourse trying to get the thing working but it completely refused. The diagnostiocs said I was connected to the internet, but I could not connect to any servers. I called it a day and went back home.
Later last night I thought I would double check my own airport extreme settings to see if I could work out what I had done wrong. When I connected it asked if I wanted to upload the latest firmware so I said ok. I ended up with my setup in exactly the same situation. I then realised that it must be the 5.6 firmware that is causing the problem - but I couldn't even get on the apple website to find out what they were saying about it.
Anyway just got on now over dialup and there doesn't seem to be any mention of this problem other than this thread.
Has anyone else successfully uploaded 5.6 without getting this issue?
I'm currently downloaded 5.5.1 so I'll see if that fixes things.
I also noticed that I can't find a screen that lets you download 5.6 anywhere. Does anyone know if apple have withdrawn it?

This should work but it doesn�t Please can someone tell me why !!!

I have really trid to get this code to work.
Please an some help me with find out why it will not work.

Handling events in subvis - think this should work but it doesn't.

In part of a large project I need to handle key down events, but elsewhere I need to handle them differently and want to be able to dynamically register and unregister them in each location. I also want to be able to put one of the event handlers in a subvi. To quote the Help system, "Dynamically Registering Events: With dynamic registration, you can handle events in a subVI rather than only in the VI where the events are generated."
ViThatHandlesEvents.vi handles key down events. It uses dynamic event registration to demonstrate that it works (though in this simple example it isn't necessary).
ViContainingSubviThatHandlesEvents registers key down events and passes this to KeyDnEventHndlrSubVI. I thought it would work but it doesn't.

Here's a version with Panel > OwningVI > Key Down selected in the nodes that register events. It seems to do what I want. It acts on keystrokes that occur when the cursor isn't even over the parent's window, which is good in my situation. I made these choices by experimenting - is this a good approach, if I want to act on all the keystrokes that occur when the parent VI has focus?
As you noted, this will have the event structure respond to keypresses whenever the parent VI is active. You can simplify the subVI by simply wiring the "VI Refnum" terminal directly to the Register for Events node. Getting the Panel, and then the Owning VI simply gets you back to where you started.
That's a valid way of doing it, and I'm assuming that this is intended to be a test case. As you noted you have a large project, so I don't know what your overall architecture is, or how you intend to use this technique, so I can't really say whether it's a "good" approach. It's an approach.
Say, I should have said this before, but you have to be pretty good to answer the question somebody should be asking, especially in brief forum postings.
Thanks for the compliment. It's just a matter of seeing a lot of code and a lot of questions. I'm only a teenage pup compared to the real veterans on this board.

I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
You could try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
All the best

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:
