Check the wireless router (access point) functionality and configuration. ● Temporarily disable any wireless encryption to see if the computer will connect to the wireless network. If the computer connects to the wireless network when encryption is disabled, verify that the computer and the wireless router (access point) are using the same security settings (Network Authentication, Data Encryption, Network Key, and Key Index). ● Change the wireless channel on the wireless router (access point).

However, if multiple networks are detected in close proximity, and more than one is using the same channel, there may be interference.
