Hello,

Since 2 weeks ago i start facing wifi problems on my G74sx, when i start up laptop everything loaded up, i click on wifi, 2x on my router name and then windows trying to connect, after 10 sec it give me message “was unable to connect” 1-fix problem 2-trouble shoot. When I do 1st it trying to fix but won’t help. Yesterday I got SSD for laptop, so I thought maybe I have virus, now I will install fresh copy with latest driver and internet security and problem will gone. I was happy until I done full installation, problem was still ther 😞

I have ipone 4s and ipad 3 connected to same wifi and no problem and only laptop do not want to join party 😞 now im using lan cable and my can love to play with it and bite it a lot.

Im using Avast IS 2012, my network card Atheros, Win7 SP1 x64 with latest updates from Microsoft and I checked Asus Live Update no new staff there.

Any idea why its happening?

Thanks

What version Atheros WiFi driver are you running?

Does a Windows System Restore back to a time before you observed this issue resolve it?

But what Atheros driver are you using? It makes a difference.

What a) Authentication Level and b) Encryption have you configured for your wireless network in Windows on your laptop? Does it match that of your iPhone and iPad?

I am using a) WPA2-Personal (Authntication Level) with b) AES (Encryption).

What are your settings?

Have you shut down and restarted your modem and wireless router?

What signal strength is detected for your router by your ASUS laptop?

What version number Atheros driver are you running? If it is earlier than 9.2.1.432, you need to upgrade it. You can check the version in Device Manager by displaying the Properties of your Atheros Wireless Network Adapter.
