new laptop with Windows 7 can't connect to dlink dir-615 (rev b) router
I have a new laptop with Windows 7 (Home I think). When I plug in the ethernet cable internet works great. I have other machines connected via wi-fi to the router. When I try to connect the new laptop to the router with a password, it doesn't
seem to connect. Is there something I would need to update or change in windows 7 to get it to work? My other machines are Windows XP and seem to work fine.
I setup my router with:
Security Mode: WPA-Personal WPA Mode: WPA2 Only Cipher: AES Group Key Update Interval: 3600
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You just need to ensure you have ALL the wireless settings correct and matching the routers settings. I use two laptops with wireless connecting to a wireless router using WPA2 and AES.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you update the wireless network card driver and the router firmware for Windows 7 first.
If it does not work, you may also try the
Network Troubleshooter in Windows 7.
