| | Vista Keeps Losing Wireless WEP 128 bit Encryption Key I have a Linksys wireless n router and have 2 notebooks (XP) and one notebook (vista), all of which use wireless connections to the router. I use 128 bit WEP encryption and the 2 XP notebooks have ZERO problem. However, the Vista notebook keeps losing the encryption key and thus loses wireless connection. If I re-enter the key, the wireless connection works but some time later, the same problem happens again. What is going on? Thanks. |
