Wireless zero config setting on laptop is the problem, or symptom of a problem, when trying to connect to a wireless router. Also getting messages that Windows is not the primary network manager. The laptop can see the router, gets a signal, etc., but can't connect to it. Have searched various forums/boards and enabled wireless zero config setting but it resets to disabled or still doesn't let the laptop connect.

In advance, thanks.

Try to uninstall the wireless adapter driver and reinstall it. To do this enter Device Manager, click on Network Adapters, right-click the wireless driver and uninstall it. Download the driver from the computer's manufacturer support site and reinstall it.

Please note: many wireless systems do not use windows Wireless but still give you the option to use it. Please try to use the original program and do not shift to windows Wireless. If you still want Windows Wireless to manage your system open Network Connections, double-click Wireless Network connection > properties > wireless networks. Check "use windows to configure ..." and click OK.
