Users who decide to set up a home wireless router for the first time often face a problem after completing the configuration. Everything is done according to the instructions, configured. Instead of connecting to the Internet, the user is notified that the network parameters do not meet the requirements of this network.
In this case, the connect button becomes inactive

There is nothing terrible. You can solve the problem on your own in 1-5 minutes.

Reasons when the network parameters do not meet the requirements of this network

If you read the message carefully, then everything becomes clear. It says that the PC has already connected to this network via Wi-Fi before, and Windows remembered the parameters consisting of the type of authentication, the name of the point and the key, if any. But at the moment the computer does not meet the requirements of the router. Simply put, the parameters of the router are different from those recorded in Windows.

Consider, for what reasons, a notification may appear that the PC does not meet the requirements of the access point:

1. Change settings. Initially, the access point can be enabled in the firmware, but authentication is not configured, i.e. no password is required to establish a connection. When configuring the user, the authentication method and the key or password. As a result, the OS is unable to connect to this network.
2. Reset router configuration. In the event of power surges, the router configuration may revert to factory defaults. And as a result, the Internet security settings did not allow the connection to be opened.

Important! If the router is compromised, the settings can also be changed. Be sure to put a strong password to enter the router's admin panel in order to avoid the unexpected appearance of a notification that the configuration on the PC does not match the parameters of the access point.

It is worth checking that other devices connect to the wireless network and access the Internet without any problems. This will eliminate the presence of failures in the settings of the router and hardware problems.

How to forget WiFi network?

Windows 7

In order to forget the WiFi network on Windows 7, you need to go to the management of wireless networks. This is done like this:

• Right-click on the connection icon and call the context menu.
• Launch the Network Settings Center.

On the left, find the link you want and click on it

• A list of available WiFi connections will open; to reset the network settings in Windows 7, you just need to delete it. We find the problematic connection, select it and select the "Delete" item from the context menu.
• After that, reconnect to the grid and everything should work. If this does not happen, reset the parameters of the wireless network adapter.

Windows 10

With the new OS, Microsoft has taken a different approach to changing settings. If you cannot set up a wireless connection, then:

fig. 1. Click on the WiFi icon next to the clock and follow the link for network settings
fig. 2. Open the WiFi section from the left menu and go to managing the grid parameters.

• In the list that opens at the bottom, we are looking for the LAN with which there are problems. Select it and press the "Forget" button.
• All that remains is to re-find the grid and connect to it.

Windows 8 or 8.1

In this OS family, you can get rid of saved settings as follows:

1. Open the list of connections by clicking on the connection icon.
2. We select the SSID of the point from which we cannot connect.
3. Calling the context menu

We select the item "Forget this network"

Searching again and connecting to the grid with new settings.

Windows XP

We go to the "Network Connections" section and call the context menu for the WiFi connection element, go to the section of available LANs and delete the problematic connection. Then we search for the access point again and connect to it.

In most cases, after re-establishing the connection to the access point, work in the mesh will continue without problems. If this does not happen, you should try changing the SSID or access point name. In this case, Windows will be forced to retrieve the connection configuration again.

The name of the point is changed through the administrative menu of the router. In it, you need to find the section "Wireless connection" or WiFi and specify a different SSID.

If other steps did not help, reset the router to the factory settings using the Reset switch and re-configure it, strictly following the instructions and the administrative menu. Remember to save the settings after completing the configuration and reboot the router if necessary.

Hopefully now, the network parameters meet the requirements of this network. Ask questions to specialists.

When trying to connect to a wireless network, some users get an error The network settings saved on this computer do not meet the requirements of this network. This situation can be easily resolved.

Such an error most often occurs due to the fact that the parameters for a previously saved connection have been changed. Therefore, in order to fix the error that occurs, you need to "forget" the saved settings.

On Windows 10

Click on the connection icon in the tray and click on the link Network parameters.

Now, at paragraph Famous networks management click on the network you want to connect to and click on the button Forget.

Everything is ready, now we are trying to connect to this network again by entering the current password.

On Windows 8 and 8.1

Click on the wireless icon in the tray.

We are looking for the network to which you want to connect, right-click on it and select the item Forget this web.

Now we just reconnect to this network again by entering the current password if it is set.

On Windows 7

Right-click on the connection icon in the tray and select the item Network and Sharing Center.

Now just find your network and delete it.

All that remains is to reconnect to your network by entering the current password, if it has been set.

On Windows XP

We go to the control panel, for example, through the start menu and open the folder Network connections.

In this folder, right-click on the icon Wireless connection and select the item View available wireless networks.

Now, we delete the network, when connecting to which an error occurs.

It remains only to connect to the desired network by entering the current password, if you have set it.

Errors "The network settings do not match the requirements of this network" are quite common. It is worth noting that there are several reasons for such a notification to appear on the screen. In most cases, the error is quickly and easily eliminated using standard actions that even inexperienced users can perform. To avoid interruptions in the operation of the wireless Internet, you should be responsible for the settings of the network adapter and router. Incorrect characteristics of such devices, set by users, first of all lead to the demonstration of a short notice that the network parameters do not meet the necessary requirements. For this reason, it is better to entrust the setup process to professionals or independently study the features of such a process, find out what errors may arise, how certain set parameters affect the operation of the wireless Internet. Only under this condition, users will not encounter difficulties when using Wi-Fi. Each user should know how to solve the described problem, since this will help very quickly restore the operation of this Wi-Fi network. It should be borne in mind that the algorithm is slightly different on different versions of Windows.

Wi-Fi network errors happen quite often, but they are resolved quickly.

Reasons for the error

Most often, the message that the parameters do not meet the previously set requirements for this network occurs when users connect to the wireless Internet, after which they change some settings, such as the WPA2 / PSK authentication type and security key. The reason is that the Windows software package "remembers" the parameters during the first connection. After making changes, new settings are not always automatically fixed in Windows memory. Thus, a contradiction arises between the old and new characteristics. As a result, the user sees a notification that indicates that without correcting the settings, it is impossible to activate Wi-Fi access.

There is a second reason why a user might see a notification about such an error. It consists in an automatic failure of settings due to voltage surges. In some cases, a third-party user may change the parameters without notifying the others. Of course, such situations are rare, but they also occur. It is desirable that everyone who has access to change any characteristics, inform the others about all the changes made. This ensures that you can quickly find the cause and solve problems if they suddenly appear.

Solution of the problem

The solution to this problem in the Windows 7 and 8 software package is as follows:

1. You need to open Wireless Properties. To do this, in the seventh version, you can click on the icon, open the Properties with the right mouse button. The second method is suitable for both versions of the software package. You need to execute the command Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - on the right side of the screen opposite Connection, click on the name of your connection - activate Wireless Network Properties - open the Security tab. Internet - Network and Sharing Center.
2. You should make changes in the security properties, for example, change the key to the current one.

In Windows 8, you can open available connections, find the one you need to reconfigure Wi-Fi, then click on its name and select Forget this network. After that, you will need to re-find the connection, enter the password and continue the usual work.

Sometimes, in order to fix the error "The settings do not meet the requirements of this network", you must completely reset all settings using the Reset key on the router. Before the setup process, it is best to consult with your provider's technical support service regarding the correct selection of settings.

In Windows 10, you need to click on the wireless symbol, which will open all available connections. Then you need to go to Network Settings and select Manage Wi-Fi Settings. To reset the settings, you must select the appropriate connection and click the forget button. As you can see, all solutions to the problem boil down to the need to simply clear the saved information about the Wi-Fi connection.

DirectAccess Requirements

DirectAccess Specific Requirements

Although DirectAccess is marketed as an alternative to VPN, DirectAccess has all the elements of a VPN. It establishes a secure private tunnel over public networks using IPSec and certificates, and the resulting functionality is not too different from L2TP. The differences that exist are of an administrative rather than technical nature.

DirectAccess uses IPv6, IPSec, and certificates to establish secure connections from DirectAccess clients to intranet resources through the DirectAccess server. To traverse public IPv4 networks, DirectAccess uses transitional IPv6 technologies such as ISATAP, Teredo, and 6to4.

DirectAccess has some specific requirements:

• A server running Windows Server 2008 R2 must have two NICs, one connected to the intranet and one connected to the Internet.
• The network card connected to the Internet must have two consecutive public IPv4 addresses.
• Intranet resources and applications must support IPv6.
• DirectAccess clients must be running Windows 7; older clients are not supported.
• The domain controller and DNS server to which the systems are connected must be running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
• A PKI infrastructure must exist to issue certificates with a publicly available certificate revocation list-CRL on the Internet.

These fairly stringent requirements can hinder many organizations from deploying DirectAccess. However, for organizations with modern infrastructure, servers, and clients, DirectAccess can be a brilliant solution.

Sometimes, when trying to connect to Wi-Fi on a laptop or computer with Windows 7, the following error occurs: The network settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of this network... On this page we will tell you about the cause of the error and how to fix the problem.

If there is no Wi-Fi connection or the Internet does not work, check - perhaps you have the same cross next to the name of the wireless connection as mine. And if you click on the name of the network, you will see a message stating that the parameters do not match.

What does the error mean

This means that one or more parameters of this wireless network, saved in the list of Wi-Fi networks on the computer, do not match the parameters of this network on a router (access point).

What is causing this error?

This is a really interesting question. The fact is that different actions and their combinations can lead to the appearance of this error. For example:

• the security key (Wi-Fi password) has been changed on the router. And the computer last connected to this network when the old key was still valid;
• since the last connection on the router, the security type has been changed (for example, from WEP to WPA2-PSK);
• the type of encryption has changed;
• the user has mistakenly changed some parameter in the list of networks saved on the computer;
• all other possible options for changing the parameters of this network both on the side of the router and on the computer;
• interference from nearby Wi-Fi;
• sometimes an unexplained router glitch can be the cause.

How do I resolve the network mismatch error?

Attention! Before making any changes to the router or client devices, try restarting the router and the device that cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

Go to Network and Sharing Center... To do this, right-click on the wireless network icon in the system tray near the clock:

In the window Network and Sharing Center in the right part of the window, click on the link Wireless network management :

Find the desired wireless network in the list - the one to which you cannot connect - click on it with the left mouse button. Then click on it with the right mouse button and remove it from the "memorized" using the item Delete network :

Confirm your intention to delete the Wi-Fi network by clicking Yes :

Now your computer does not "remember" either the password or other details of this network, and will not even try to connect to it.

Now left click on the wireless icon next to the clock:

Find your network (it will now show up as all other networks you have never connected to). Then click on its name and click the button that appears To plug :

After pressing the button To plug a window will appear prompting you to enter the security key. Your only task is to enter the correct key. BUT security type and encryption type the Windows system will determine in this case on its own. After entering the key, press " OK»:

The result is the same as in the first method: the connection is established and working:

How to remove a network in Windows 10

To remove the error "The network settings saved on this computer do not meet the requirements of this network" in Windows 10, you need to follow these steps:

By the way

Android smartphones are smarter in this regard. If the security type or encryption type has changed on the router, the smartphone will usually simply ask you to enter the security key again. But in the case of Windows OS - alas: when you change one of the parameters of the saved network, you will receive an error. Therefore, you need to either remove the network from the list and re-add it (method 2), or manually change its settings (method 1).

If all else fails

Dear readers, if none of the above methods helped you, please try the following steps.

1 Go to the web interface of the router

2 Open the Wi-Fi settings section. It can also be called Wireless or Wireless Network.

3 Set the following options:

• security type WPA2-PSK(aka WPA2 Personal Key). Not WPA, but WPA 2 .
• encryption type AES... Not AES + TKIP, but only AES.
• change the Wi-Fi channel.

4 Save the settings

5 Follow the steps described in method # 2: i.e. delete the network on your computer, tablet, smartphone and reconnect to it.

6 If this does not help, reset the router using the button RESET(read) and configure the router again (read). When setting up Wi-Fi, set the security type WPA2-PSK and the type of encryption AES... After that, delete the network on your computer or smartphone again and reconnect to it. In our practice, there were cases when only resetting the router settings and subsequent reconfiguration helped. This can be explained only by assuming that this is a rare glitch of a router (access point)
