My "Use window to configure my wireless network settings" gets unchecked each time I reboot. I then have to go into run, services.msc --> Wireless Zero configs and click to start (its always stopped), then go to properties in wireless connections and recheck the box and wireless internet comes back.
I tried using a tech support service recommended by lynksys since I'm out of warranty on my router stuff and that company they referred me to could not fix it after hours on phone (& 3 phone calls).
They tried uninstalling all of my lynksys software including going into the registry and deleting references to it. They ultimately said because i'm using XP, its no longer supported and they could do nothing further.
All this started when I installed new wireless printer Brother MFC7860DW. I couldn't get it working and set up and couldn't get the software to install. This company couldn't either. I called Brother, they got it installed and recognizing printer and wireless connection within minutes but said my wireless problem was not their problem. I really feel like it was installing that Brother software that changed something because in the 8 years I've had this computer which I've upgraded over years, this has NEVER happened.
I have read other people post this same question but did not understand how they fixed it or if they fixed it. I don't speak computer tek so hopefully someone can give me some instruction in lay English on where/how to look for culprit. I think its related to brother wireless printer. :confused:
Thanks in advance.
