    wifi issues

    Having problem with wifi didnt know but i was on wep now changed to wpa2 after bit of messing i got it working ok as it was conflicting with my old wep password so reset ipconfig reset winsock it was ok for a while then went off

    left it a while it was ok again now its playing up again when i check the lappy seems to be going back to my wep password and conflicting so it just keeps searching for ip

    im not sure if i am doing everything in the correct order as it seems to go back to my initial wep

    how do i get rid of it and start again

    ty

    its dell lappy btw i went away once and had problems at hotel until i found the correct way of deleting whatever it was but i cant find what i used before just doing it from memory. I think i had to stop the actual dell wifi and use the wireless zero config and do some other stuff but i cant remember the correct sequence or if i have missed something

    been messing ages now everytime i get wifi to work its on a few minutes then goes down the wifi reverts back to its old wep

    I cant seem to clear the old one at all

    think its something to do with clearing netsh winsock iplogs or whatever but dont think im doing it right as it only works for a few min then reverts to the one i have tried to clear

          Re: wifi issues

          Are you using windows own wifi management or another 3rd party?

          If your using a 3rd party disable it from boot in msconfig and start windows own in services.msc

            Windows own wireless zero config

            Already disabled the dell wifi utility


            Trying to remember what i read before lappy wouldnt connect to hotel wifi, so i found a fix it was something to do with dell wifi utility conflict i done a few things using cmd rebooted a few times started to zero config and it was ok


            This though seems to take me back to my original wifi setting in windows all the time, i have tried deleting the wifi network it just come back with same password and knocks the new one off

              Try this

              Removing history of wireless connections? - Super User

              Or changing your ssid and not the password. It should then start a new connection

                I can remove the wireless connections in first pic but they keep coming back


                If i turn it all off reset winsock whatever its fine for a bit then it reverts back to old password pic 2. It does not matter what i change in that box it reverts back. i tick ,untick change, the sssid cannot be changed, only password and wpa part.

                The wpa bit will stay where i change it but password always reverts back

                boiling my piss now

                  In your router settings page. Try changing ssid to a new name. Then rescan, enter pw im thinking that it should make a new connection

                            I can get it on now i updated bios it worked well for a few hours then it keeps dropping wifi. It still says its connected but wont find web pages seems to hang on resolving proxy as if the wifi is connecting to another source.

                            Getting right on me nerves mow tbh im even having trouble going back to wep now
