I can connect to wifi without issue, but have been unable to connect to secured wifi. I've tried different security settings on the router (WEP, WPA, ect), and all fail. The wireless router works with other devices and password being used is the correct one.
I read the subforum instructions, ran the diagnostic (below), and searched the forums, but found no solutions. I am new to Linux / Ubuntu, so I may be missing something simple/obvious - help appreciated!
