I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook with 7 Starter.
It has a Broadcom wireless adapter. Earlier today
I turned it on and it would not connect to my
wireless router. It said that the connection
security settings did not match the router. I
checked the security setting on the router and
the netbook and they matched. They were set
the same way they have always been set. Next
I checked my wife's netbook, also an Acer, and
the settings there were the same and that
netbook did connect.
To fix the problem I had to delete the wireless
adapter (without deleting the drivers) using
device manager and reboot. After the adapter
was reinstalled, a box came up asking for the
password and then it connected. Security
settings were still the same.
I've had the netbook for a little over a year
and this is the first time this has happened.
No changes in hardware or software other then
the normal windows updates. No driver updates.
Anybody have any idea what might have caused this?
