Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I can normally find some solution by Googling around, but this time I cannot solve it myself ???.
I cannot connect to the WIFI in one certain location. In all other locations I have tried, it has worked without any problems. I noticed that the problem network was originally encrypted with WEP, and I read that that could cause problems, so I changed it to WPA-Personal. I was advised by the tech-support for the ISP that they cannot guarantee that all would be ok with WPA2, so they suggested that I select WPA instead.
The problem remains however. I am really confused, because the icon shows that it is connected with a very strong signal. I also installed wicd (using apt-get in the konsole) as I read that that could help the situation, but that has also not helped. Of note, the wired ethernet connection is working flawlessly.
If anyone could help me with this then I would be very grateful.
Just to add to this, I have a Sony Vaio VPCS13C5E and the router that I having the problems with is a DSL-2680, if there is any other information that I could provide to elucidate the issue, then please just let me know.
