Setting up a wireless connection on a new laptop

I'm trying to set up the wireless broadband onto my new laptop. I can see the network connection that I want to connect to but it just won't allow me.

It asks me for the 'network security key', which I have, but when I input this key, it still won't connect anyway. The security key is correct.

The internet/wireless connections are working, as my existing laptop is working fine, I just can't get the new laptop to connect wirelessly.

Any suggestions?

Hmmmm.... whose the internet connection with? Have you checked on your router for the key and done all the other stuff like caps lock/case sensitive etc?

Virgin media.....I have ensured the keys are input correctly, some lowercase, some upper and numbers etc.

I have reset the router and tried to input the network security key again but to no avail.

As I say, the older laptop is connected fine to the router[hence being able to post this]

I just get the message 'Network security key mismatch'

Ah ha ok... and the router type? Netgear, Belkin?

Try typing into your old laptop: 192.168.1.1

Then go to > wireless settings > pre-shared key

That should be what you're looking for, let me know how you get on!
