Trying to connect my new Acer laptop running Vista home premium to the
internet via wireless connection (router WPA).
and getting the following error message "wireless authentication failed
because of a timeout"
works okay if i plug it in direct to the router, my old laptop works okay
running on XP!!
have downloaded all the latest update for Vista.

It could be security settings issue. Try switch from AES to TKIP or to WEP. Please post back with the result.

For a test, does it work if you don't setup security?

Yes, we have tried switching off encryption on the router and can connect
without any problems.

Rob, *I* don't have a problem. But if you are trying to convey that
you have an issue with a 3com router and it is the same model as the
other person who posted about this, the answer is probably the same.
You need to post the details of what issue you are trying to
resolve.

this problem is not related to security options, this happen to me when
i have activated the "Xpress technologie" on my router ( actualy is not
mine

so, i think, its about some frame compression/bursting that is not
supported by the station adapter

the Xpress technologie (maybe is the same technologie of the Atheros
SuperG) is supposed to accelerate (some how) the packets in
transmission, and when the STA is not receiving correctly those packet
its like his not receving any response from "authentification request"
he sended. so it result an "Authentification timeout"

i have spend a lot of time to resolve this problem but i cant do
anything with my Atheros 5005G
