Hi ALL,
I have a problem with my Extensa5220 to connect to wireless network.
The laptop was bought 4 months ago with linux, so I installed XP HE SP2. All drivers taken from Acer ftp installed correctly. All updates installed from WU. Wireless Card is BroadCom 4311
For 4 months I did not have any issue with it. In May I installed SP3 and no issue discovered, but 3 days ago I decided to change a password for my wireless network (use WPA) and problem has started. After that I cannot connect to my network. I have wireless router D-link DI-624 54Mb. I tried to repair connection but the message is that cannot connect to wireless network.
I decided to uninstall SP3 - the same problem. Then I made clean XP SP2 installation with drivers only and the same. Sometimes connection is established but only with speed 5,5 Mb but after reboot I have again red cross on wireless icon. I installed Vista and looks like connection is established but with speed limitation 5,5 Mb.
The funny thing is that I have two laptops. Second one is HP9780 with Vista and there all is OK. Connection speed 54Mb.
Do you have any idea what can be wrong?
