"Wireless Network Authentication Required" dialog opening

[toastkid]

Hi all. When i'm at home, my laptop with Mint keeps trying to reconnect to my wireless router: every few minutes the box pops up saying "Authentication required by local network". It's remembered the password, i just have to hit OK.

This is **really** p*ssing me off. Can i configure it to just connect automatically, given that it knows what the password is, and stop hassling me?

grateful for any advice - max

i sometimes get this on my netbook running Mint 12 LXDE, if you leave it and don't type anything in loads of the windows pop up.

when i get this problem i just restart my machine and all is fine again

Hmm, not a brilliant solution though is it. :/

Thanks for replying though, i wasn't having a go, just having a moan

I've had a similar issue after having just switched to Mint from Windows Vista.

In certain areas of my house I will have the same pop up asking me to imput the Wifi password and the signal will go in and out every few minutes. I'm fairly certain it has to do with signal strength, which is odd because when I was running Vista I had no issues connecting in the same places.

Not sure how to fix it. As of now I've simply moved my setup to another room where I recieve a better signal from my wireless router.
