. In the normal online process, it will inevitably encounter some network problems. At this time, we need to check the status of the network connection and find the root cause of the problem. In Windows XP, everyone will open the "Network Connections" window from the Start menu or Control Panel to check for network problems, but for a newcomer to Windows 7, it seems a bit difficult to find this window, but I found it, but found it. Still can't connect, why is this?
I recently installed Windows7 for my computer, but found that I can't log in to any webpage with IE. Check the connection status of the wireless router and find that the signal is strong but it has not been able to connect successfully. I thought that the WPA wireless password I set was changed, so I re-set it and still can't connect successfully. Then wireless encryption was cancelled, but the result is still unable to connect.
Don't the wireless function of the wireless router malfunction? I tried to connect to the wireless network in the Windows Vista system and found that the wireless connection is very smooth. No way, I had to find a friend who also installed Windows 7, wirelessly connected to the author's wireless router with his computer, but found that there is also the problem of not being able to connect. Therefore, the author judges that the wireless router may conflict with the wireless network system of Windows 7. I replaced a Huawei 3Com wbr204g wireless router for testing and found that the Windows 7 system is smoothly connected to the wireless router and can access the Internet. It seems that the author's wireless router is really a problem.
Since the wireless router is not compatible with the Windows 7 wireless network system, does it mean that it must be replaced? In order to save money, the author decided to find the relevant information of the wireless router to further troubleshoot. On the management page of the wireless router, I found that its firmware version is 4.2.0 Build 081225, which should be released in December 2008. It is relatively old, and Windows 7 was released in October 2009. It seems that it may be wireless. The router firmware does not support Windows 7. On the official website of the wireless router, I downloaded the relevant firmware updated on July 30, 2009. After upgrading the firmware, I found that the firmware version of the wireless router has been updated to 4.2.0 Build 090730.
Is the firmware updated to solve the problem? After setting the network parameters, the author's Windows 7 no longer refuses the wireless router, and finally can surf the Internet under Windows 7.
The problem lies in the wireless router. In addition to the hardware system, it also has a software system that directs hardware work —— firmware. Users generally manage wireless routers with a simple web page mode, and it is likely that the web page is actually the outer shell of the wireless router software system. When the Internet is unavailable, the user can check the working status of the wireless router through the management page of the wireless router. If the wireless router is working properly but cannot connect to the wireless network under Windows 7, it is likely that the wireless router's software system is not compatible with Windows 7's wireless connection. Many older wireless routers did not take into account the applications under Windows 7 when designing the firmware. Therefore, Windows 7 rejected the wireless router.
Microsoft claims that Windows 7 is perfectly compatible with more than 90% of the hardware. In other words, Windows 7 still has some hardware conflicts. At present, the setting of the wireless router has been fooled, upgrading the firmware is easy, and users who are ready to use Windows 7 should upgrade the firmware of the wireless router in time.
