This could be because the encryption settings in the wireless router has not been entered into the wireless card configuration.

Ok, you must reset the router up again, you need to log into router, with your browser, set default, login and password, go to the securities TAB, and set your WEP/WAP KEY. Once generated, copy/paste to a notepad document, save that. it's a 128 bit number. Then save your routers new configuration. Reboot your PC, now try to WiFi logon to the router's network, when asked for your "Passkey" your, WEP/WAP KEY, simply copy/paste back that, 128 bit or 16 bit hex number, key, that, you saved in notepad. reboot, There you are done.

it is pretty simple, once you've done it a few times
log in to the router: 192.168.1.1 in the address line of internet explorer, the default username is left blank, and the default password is admin (if you changed the password, us it) once in the menu, click on Wireless The default SSID (Router name for your network) is LINKSYS, you can change it to what you want (BOB's router etc) , then security, and you'll have the option to enable security, and select the type, Use WPA and for the key I suggest an old phone number that you know by memory (All 10 digits including area code), then save the settings. Next time you try to connect to the network, it will prompt for the key, type in the one you entered, and yo are on-line, wireless and secure

connect your router to computer with ethernet lan cable.
Then you can access with below link

Click on wireless security then check WEP or WAP Code if it is in * or # format then you must need to enter new code.
Then save and restart router it is your new password to connect wi fi ..

do you own the network's router? if so, then simply visit the router's config page. to do this, turn on your router and connect a working PC. then in that PC, visit http://192.168.1.1 and you will be brought to the router's config page where you can setup the wifi's key

Check your security settings by going to 192.168.1.1, enter password and go to wireless. You will be able to enable WEP or WAP security settings here. I have seen this and it is caused by incompatible hardware (wireless cards) trying to connect to WAP. What you want is the WEP settings.

See article for better explanation:

If this doesn't improve, you may need to purchase a new wireless device for your PC/Laptop or try replacing the router.

hia,

you need a network key for wireless connection to get authorized and allow your PC to connect.
make sure you have right key if security is enabled on wireless router.

now if you are entering right key then need to make sure which type of encryption router is using by going into router settings as an emaple WEP,WAP,TES etc...and make sure your computer wireless settings are same as this type.

let me know if you need more info in detail or step by step.

Thanks.

plug a laptop straight into the router with a cable. then open an internet browser and type in 192.168.0.1
type in the username and password. the default will be admin for username and password for password. then close the browser and unplug the cable. it might detect wireless internet after a few seconds. if it doesn't, it is possible that you have a PC set up as the internet gateway for the laptops or something, so when you introduce encryption the laptops can't get access. in which case you should go to your wireless icon on the laptop and click that and open the connection list. double click on the wap secured connection and try to connect. it should ask for a username and password, which you have secured the wireless encryption with. enter that and it should connect to the gateway.
dunno if this helps, good luck
