When using Windows XP to connect to the internet via wifi, I keep getting an error message that says status-validating identity. why is this happening and how can I fix it?? also I'm worried if this would affect my wifi signal anyway. I'm afraid Internet would become slow.
@sooflymami There's a solution at the Edmix website. If that doesn't help there's plenty of information to be found by doing a Google search.
I'm just worried if I do that process, it might affect my internet. I'm afraid if it might get slow internet connection.
@sooflymami Why not give it a try, and if it slows your connection speed, change it back to the original setting?
Also if something goes wrong, would I need to reset my router or my password for it or anything else? I'm worried because I don't know when it comes to routers.
I'm on that link right now. How do I set back to default settings on windows 8 just for in case something happens?
Also on the Authentication tab. It says to Uncheck the box of Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication. What does that exactly do? Also would it affect internet for other devices for wifi as well?
@sooflymami It won't affect any other devices. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r12968445-Why-users-want-to-disable-IEEE-802-1x-authententi
Can you simplify what this setting exactly stands for and what it does differently than other settings?
@sooflymami Try Googling it. I'm no expert and you should will be able to find more information by searching.
