Not able to connect to WPA on Windows 7?

[Nish]

Having problems with my internet connection recently.

Right now it has to be on disabled for me to join the internet.

But when its disabled persons from around the block can just join and use up a lot of our speed.
So, We've thought that we can use WPA Personal for securing the internet. But the problem is that I can't connect to anything except disabled. (for now )

Any ideas or solutions?

I'm using Windows 7.

Are you using wireless, or wired? (try the other.)
Are you typing the password in correctly?
Is your router set to recognise your pc?
Are you willing to get a mac to fix all your problems?
Have you enabled the connection in windaz 7 control panel?

Answer those, and i can help more

hum...

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

On topic: Have you allowed windows 7 to connect to your router? / does the network centre tell you no?

And why not just use a cable and see if it works

Cable works perfectly, Killer, but that would mean we will have to cut a hole trough the wall to let the cable come trough.

Turning on and off? Oh god, how many times have I done that o.o

Are you using the most recent router firmware? (Careful with this if you choose to update!)
Are you using the most recent wireless drivers for your network connection?

[Kaelan002]

Could you try switching to an older security protocol such as wep, or a newer one like wpa2?

[BelovedKiller]

I say cut a hole in your wall.. it'll save time and probably decrease your ping if you get a higher speed cable

I've tried, but I just can't seem to join a locked network trough wireless.

I do not know, how do I check?

Yes.

Login into the router, it will display what firmware version you are using somewhere, then just compare this with the latest version on the manufacturer's website.

This problem again!

It only happens on 64-bit, but not 32-bit.

I expect this to be your wireless drivers, my advice is to google for the latest x64 drivers for your device, you will probs find it then works (:
