  2. Can't Connect to WiFi - FIPS Mistakenly Enabled

    Hello,

    Please answer the questions below:

    • How did you enable FIPS?
    • Did you enable FIPS from the router page?

    Please let us know if you have followed the steps mention by Jitendra Kushwaha in the TechNet link which you have sent.

    I request you to follow the steps and disable the FIPS and try to connect to the network after restarting the device.

    Registry disclaimer

    To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
    these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    Hi - I stupidly enabled FIPS without fully understanding what it was and it has eliminated my ability to connect to the WIFI connection I was previously using. I am not a computer genius and only know how to turn it off by following the same path I went
    through to turn it on - by choosing advanced settings within my wifi network connection, but without connecting, I obviously can't get to that path. How do I disable FIPS if I'm no longer able to connect to the WIFI connection to access the advanced settings??

    I NEED HELP! I stupidly enabled FIPS without knowing what it was and now I can't even get...

    Should FIPS be enabled in Windows 7 ?

    Will FIPS, if enabled, cause browsing issues or other issues?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811833

    Secondary:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811834

    Should it be used?

    Microsoft site tells what it is but does not go into detail about possible conflicts, etc...


    I was looking at Wireless Network Properties/Advanced tab/settings when I saw a box to enable FIPS...did not want to try without knowing more.
