    Can't connect with wifi (WPA2-PSK)

    I can't connect on a school network, the security type is WPA2-PSK.
    The password is correct but it will not connect, other networks with a another security type can I connect (WPA2-enterprise or WPA).

    This problem was not in Windows 7, This problem have I with Windows 8

    Have anybody a solution?

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    With no information regarding the computer you are using, the wireless adapter, the driver or driver date for said adapter, it's difficult to suggest anything except maybe check with the adapter manufacturer and see if there is a driver update available.

    If, as seems to be the case, in all other instances the adapter seems to work without issues, then I would suggest talking with the school's network administrator and see if you can work out why that particular network is unique and will not allow you to connect.

    Regards
    Randy

    I have no means of determining if that statement is accurate or not as you have not included the driver version number nor date...... but, here is a link, click the "Click for download" button and wait ( it takes a while) and see if that is the same driver you are currently using. Good luck

    Yes... talk to the school network administrators and find out why.

    Re: Can't connect with wifi (WPA2-PSK)

    You have reported that this is not a universal problem and that your wireless adapter works in most if not all other instances.
    Since the issue is unique to one particular network, I am not sure what we could possibly do to assist you with this problem and without assistance from the network administrator I am not sure what you can do to resolve the issue.
    Perhaps temporarily borrow another adapter from a friend, fellow student, etc., (USB dongle) for testing to see if the problem persists.
    With WPA2 Pre-Shared Key there are options regarding the encryption algorithm / protocol
    AES / CCMP and TKIP / RC4
    IF it is possible to determine which they are using then you might be able to research and see if there are any issues with your particular adapter and either method.
    Regards
