I bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium (first computer with Vista in the network), and can not connect to my WPA-PSK protected WLAN. The Error I get is that my passphrase is not correct -however I have checked it several times and it is correct, and other computers connect with the same passphrase. What could be wrong? |

You probably have chosen the wrong encryption. You say "WPA-PSK" but perhaps it is really WPA2 PSK, etc. Check for the exact settings by logging into your router's configuration utility (refer to the router manual for how to do this).

Otherwise, disable all encryption on the router. Connect from every machine to make sure it works. Then apply proper encryption and connect from every machine again. Remember that all devices on the network must support the level of encryption you choose. You might also want to check with the router mftr. to make sure you have the latest firmware for it.
