Netgear Wireless Router/Laptop

[JDGreen92086]

I have a Netgear WGR614 V7 router. Channel 01, in 802.11 G & B mode. WPA2-PSK [AES] security. I have the MAC address of my laptop entered in the MAC Access List.

When I try to use the laptop to connect to my router, it will find my SSID and try connecting. It will then say it was unable to connect. When I go into router setup via 192.168.1.1, I have to Apply my settings for my router without changing anything, then my laptop can connect.

It's a big hassle when my wife wants to use the laptop. I have to drop what I'm doing to get the laptop to work.

Any suggestions?

Do you still have this issue if you turn off MAC Authentication? You would probably be fine with just WPA2 on.

I turned the MAC Authentication on thinking this may solve the problem, it didn't, now it's just a security feature.

Any other ideas as to why this is occurring?

Thanks
