    Help Help wireless not working in new Lubuntu 14.04 install

    I was instructed by forum admin to post this "script". Hopefully I've done it correctly (never posted a script before). The problem is that my wireless network/router will not take my password. It keeps asking for it over and over. I have correct password and no other devices in my house are having any troubles. This is a new install for me of Linux so i don't have anything to compare to as to the setup issues. My network shows up in the script as a2a301.

    Re: Help Help wireless not working in new Lubuntu 14.04 install

    Your password? Or the router's password/pass phrase/wireless key/WPA-PSK key? The driver is installed and the WiFI adapter is working. Otherwise there would not be any wireless access points in that printout.

    We authenticate a connection to a wireless access point (router) not by putting in our user password but the wireless key/pass phrase for the router. You may find a record on a sticker on the bottom of the router.

    Regards.
    It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

    It's the key on bottom of router (and only password/key I've ever used with router).

    Your old PCMCIA card does not support two things that your router is using -

    1) WPA2 encryption (it is using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode),
    2) 'g' mode network (it *seems* to be using b/g or b/g/n mode)

    Accordingly, you may try these -

    1) Change the encryption type in the router/access-point to pure WPA with TKIP. Your card simply can not support the WPA2 part which we usually recommend.

    2) Try setting the router to only 'b' mode instead of b/g or b/g/n mode, whichever it is currently in. This will severely limit the speed but do it just for a test to see if the driver is any happier with it. If you are using other devices in the home that can support higher speeds, you might wish to revert this change after the test.

    Reboot the router after saving any changes.
