Title: Windows 7 User - Help!
Post by: loveMandieLee on December 16, 2009, 05:38:54 PM

First, let me start off by saying, I'm not a huge technical sayings person, so please walk me through everything. Step by step.

I just got a new laptop (Dell Studio 1555) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. However every time I try to connect to our secure router, I'm having a "can't connect" message. I've tried troubleshooting, and that does not work. I have a Dell 1397 WLAN Mini card. The connection is WPA2 secured. I've read things about possibly changing settings manually but honestly, I'm really not sure how to do a lot. Please help!

try wired connect first to ensure your windows setting is OK.

Turned out my dad did not have the latest firmware on our router. Now that he has updated this, it works. Thanks goodness!!
