My HP Pavilion with embedded Broadcom 54g MaxPerformance
wireless adapter won't connect with my Netgear MR814
wireless router. The computer says that it's connected
with an excellent signal strength, but it isn't. DHCP is
enabled on the router and the computer is set to obtain
an IP address automatically, but that isn't happening.
The adapter is generating its own automatic private
address that has nothing in common with addresses
generated by the router.
Connecting to the router with a CAT 5 cable works
perfectly. Other computers in the network have no
problem connecting wirelessly. I disabled the Broadcom
adapter and connected a D-Link USB wireless adapter to
the HP and the result was the same - it said it was
connected but it wasn't.
All antivirus and firewall applications have been
disabled on the HP.
