Has the wireless router failed? Using a network cable to connect to the wireless router and computer, but found that the computer can be normal Internet. Obviously, there is no problem with the Internet connection of the wireless router.
Are wireless routers malfunctioning? Try to connect to the wireless network in the WindowsVista system and find the wireless connection very smooth. There was no way to find a friend who had also installed Windows 7, using his computer to connect wirelessly to the author's wireless router, but found that there was also a problem that was not connected. Therefore, it is possible to determine that a wireless router may be in conflict with a wireless network system in Windows 7. The company then replaced a Huawei 3Com wbr204g wireless router to test and found that Windows 7 systems were successfully connected to the wireless router and were able to access the Internet. It seems that the wireless router is really problematic.
Since wireless routers are not compatible with Windows 7 wireless network systems, does it mean that they must be replaced? In order to save money, it is decided to search the wireless router to find the relevant information in order to further troubleshoot the problem. On the management page of the wireless router, it was found that its firmware version was 4.2.0 build 081225, which should have been released in December 2008, and that Windows 7 was released in October 2009, and it seems likely that the wireless router firmware does not support Windows 7.

When the Internet is not available, users can view their working status through the management page of the wireless router when they are set correctly. 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 incompatible with the Windows 7 wireless connection feature. Many older wireless routers do not take into account the applications under Windows 7 systems when designing the firmware, so Windows 7 rejects the wireless router.
