t42 wireless lan reconnection problem

#1 Post by irus » Mon May 28, 2012 1:57 pm

everytime i hit disconnect on a wlan and try to reconnect it just goes in a loop of trying to connect/disconnect. i need to either restart the t42 or put it in sleep and bring it back out of sleep to get a connection going. using wpapsk2

ive tried this with 2 different routers and 2 different wlan (2200 bg internal and usb based wg111v3) same result.

what could be the problem? i have the latest drivers and using winxp pro sp3

Hi there,

I recently had similar Wifi problems with my T41, I would suggest you try using Access Connections (assuming you are currently using Windows to manage wireless connections).

If you still have a problem after that, try using a Linux Live CD to test your adapter in a different operating system such as Ubuntu.
