Hi supporters,
I've been having a problem with my wifi for a month or so. I used to connect well to my wifi, but then one day my laptop just can't connect to it anymore. It says "windows was unable to connect to..." or something similar to that.
But what's strange is, I have an external wifi adapter (Tenda 802.11n, it looks like an USB flash drive). I use this adapter to connect to Wifi with the very same password, and it can connect perfectly. Signal strength is around the same level.
I tried using windows troubleshooter, didn't work. I borrowed my friend's laptop (which is very modern, and have windows 7 - mine has windows XP), but the same problem exists: the laptop can't connect, but the adapter can.
I also tried to export the wifi settings to an USB flash drive (using windows 7's function), and installed it on the laptops. Didn't work.
Now my dad is really mad at me, so please help me. Thank you very much!
Attached are the required files. I put 2 ipconfig there, the ipconfig.txt is when I use the laptop to connect, the ipconfig2.txt is when I use the adapter. The network I want to connect to is named "HaSang".
(The wifi source is my neighbor's)
