My brother recently acquired a new Lenovo Ideapad and I went through the Windows 7 upgrade process. When I got the computer up and running, the first thing I did was try to connect to our wireless network (WPA-TKIP) and found that doing so not only resulted in the Windows 7 PC being unable to connect to the network, but it booted every wireless and wired connection as well. Looking at the router, it appears to be restarting over and over again. Forcing the Windows 7 PC to cease its connection attempts results in a restored network. I don't have another wireless network to try at the moment, and was wondering if any of you had any thoughts as to what is going on here?
Important facts:
-- I updated the router, a WBR-2310 to the most recent firmware (from 2006, bleh), and looked into flashing it with DD-WRT only to find it isn't supported.
-- This happens whether the computer is connecting to the router wirelessly or wired.
-- The computer's network adapters are reported as a Broadcom NetLink Gigabet Ethernet and an Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN
-- Nothing useful is contained in the log since the router is, in fact, restarting.
Thanks,
John
