win 8 doesn’t like WEP Wi-Fi connection

  • Article

My newly installed win 8 system failed to connect to my home Wi-Fi without any useful information provided. I tried many times, and it always failed. Then I tried to re-configure my router to change the security type to WPA2-Personal and used AES algorithm for encryption type. and now win 8 can connect to my home Wi-Fi like a charm.

WEP is basically non-secure, so if you encountered the same issue as me, you can think of trying the same approach as I did to see if it would be the rescue.

 

Till next time,
