Boggin:
You will still need the wireless password to connect to your SSID.

Hi, thanks. i could retrieve the wifi password . But , it was not until i switch on WPS in the router.
Hi, i tried the exact password, but could not get connected with error in connection first. But there is an alert that if ssid is not broadcasted, i could connect to with wps switch . I did . it connected now. Then i went to the wireless properties,to know the password. Since, it is not broadcasted, i could not access that. But, a strange thing, Now my LAN connection takes the name of the wifi, ple see and give solution.
I bought the usb wifi adapter for Rs830 and i could retrieve the password .Only windows 7 provide character suppor. Please give me some clue boggins. Where is Shane, Now he is not around to supply some techniques
Now, you may see the 4 connections . But lan takes the wifi ssid name. What did happen to the network connection.
One more thing. that password contains 14 but the star only 8. There is more to it than meets the eye
Boggin:
Not sure why it would do that but I've never had to use a wireless dongle.
In Network and Sharing Center, when you click on the LAN does it give you the same UI as the wireless dongle does ?
As you can see with my built in adapters, the LAN is using Network -

Don't know what went wrong with the attachments but here is the one for my LAN.

Hi, Boggins, i resolved the issue.
It does not delete the name it assigned to the device that has been accessed. I accessed the device thro wps switch on the router.
I just went to Network and sharing , and then just click wireless settings, and uncheck to auto connect the device . As normal, the wireless get priority over lan.
I unchecked this option, which i set when i could not see that it is connected. It could have connected but without knowing the password, it would not allow.
i just created a wireless with my new adapter and named it and in the wireless settings properties uncheck the automatic connection, the first item .
Once i set manual , then went to network settings and renamed the homeuser group icon as network from the wifi ssid, and then renamed it as network. Now, the tray icon changed to show network , as usual. Thanks boggins, for your tips.
The Bottom line is "Check your hardware first if it supports " the task you try.
