Wireless adapt can't connect to network

I recently purchased the Linksys E3000 router. My old network set up had been 100% wired, but with the new router we have converted to wireless on some of the internet capable devices. I have 2 pc's side by side in separate room from the router that we purchased wireless adapters for, the Linksys AE1000. One pc set up fine and accesses the internet with no issues. The second pc cannot connect the network. It sees the network with a good signal strength, but it times out when trying to connect.

I called tech support and have been through a variety of things with them to no avail so far.

Both of these pc's are running Windows XP SP3. On the one that won't connect, have already confirmed in device manager that the adapter is correctly installed. I uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled it anyway with no luck. With tech support already tried disabling the 5ghz band and changing the channel on the 2.4ghz band to 11.

I have confirmed several times I am entering the password in correctly, and I did pay attention to case sensitivity.

When I run ipconfig/all, it says under Media State: Media Disconnected.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

YAY...I fixed it! After doing lots of research, I went into Device Manager and looked for error codes on anything. There was an error code on the USB ports, the drivers needed to be reinstalled. Once I did that, it re-found the wireless adapter and I was able to connect through Windows Wireless Connection manager.

 

Glad you got it sorted out. Thank you for taking time to post back with the solution - this can be of great use to those with a like problem.

 

It was the least I could do. Maybe the next person will go a little less crazy than I did trying to figure it out.
