Needs to re-enter password each time connecting wireless computer for each session

Hi, Every single time I want to connect my computer to internet using an ATT modem U-Verse I have to reenter my modem password. Windows 7 will not remember it as it did with former DSL modem off the shelves. I am using a USB wifi dongle. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Hi veritas1017,

I recommend checking the Wireless Zero Configuration is running on your Windows 7 PC. To do this you can follow the steps below

Wireless Zero Configuration

Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

Double-click WLAN AutoConfig.

Under the General tab, change the Startup Type to Automatic.

Click Apply.

Select the Recovery tab.

Choose Restart the Service from the drop-down options for First Failure, Second Failure, and Subsequent Failures.

Click Apply.

Select the General tab.

Click Start under Service Status section.

Click OK.

If it's not remembering your password, it's likely a problem with your computer or wireless adapter.

I'm curious if your computer keeps resetting the wireless profiles or your wireless adapter keeps registering itself as a new adapter.

When you go to the Network and Sharing Center on Windows 7, click on the "Manage Wireless Networks."

What does it say for "Manage wireless networks that use ------"

If it says something like Wireless Network Connection with a really high number, you probably have your adapter acting up.
