I can't associate to access points that used to work for me
My system uses windows 2000 pro, and a Hawking wifi PCI card. No WEP
security. The wifi used to work fine. Then a few weeks ago it tended to get flaky, it would drop frequently a connection to the access point even though the signal strength was the same as before. Now, it can "see" the AP, same signal strength, seems to try to connect, but the connection cannot associate with the access point. How do I fix that? It used to work. I didn't install any new hardware or software. robert casey |

Re: I can't associate to access points that used to work for me
Does that works if you assign static IP?

Problem solved!
Turns out the wifi booster amp from Hawking went bad. Seems it passed
receive signals fine, but it quit transmitting. Took it out of the antenna coax line, and now I can connect. So there was nothing wrong with the SW or HW inside the computer. The booster failing would also explain the flakiness I saw earlier. As the amp inside the booster slowly went bad the connectivity would get less reliable, until it went dead completely. robert casey |
