Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my wireless desktop card which is a TL-WN881ND Ver: 1.1
http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-11_TL-WN881ND.html

to my modem a TP-Link TD-8960N Ver: 4.0
http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-15_TD-W8960N.html

The PC can see the networks SSID and when I go to connect it prompts me for a password which I enter but it refuses to connect. TP Links utility software packages kicks up the error "The key maybe incorrect" and windows network connection says "cannot connect to the hidden network" when it can see the SSID and the password is correct.

I have shutdown and powered off all devices. I have tried TP-Links driver and the Atheros AR9287 one for Windows 7 64 bit

I have reset the password on my modem/router. I have disabled all wireless security and still can't connect to the network when it is unsecured and open. I also double checked all the encryption settings before that.

Other devices like my phone and tablet can connect to the wireless network without a problem. I have never been able to connect my PC to the wireless network as I have only just bought the wireless card.

Any ideas what might be wrong? Where to from here?

@Camkawa Did you configure wireless MAC filtering on TD-W8960N?
When Wi-Fi security is disabled on W8960N, is there any error when you connect Wi-Fi on your phone?

When I connect with the desktop wireless card when there is no security/password enabled I get the TP-Link error "Failed to connect to 'SSID name' "

My android phone connects to the network with or with out network security enabled.

Yes I did have MAC filtering enabled. That was the cause of problem.

Thank you for your assistance.
