Can't Connect to wifi

I have a Windoz 7 machine that will not connect to my MiFi. It will connect to any other wifi no problem, just not my Mifi. All my other machines have no problem connecting to the MiFi so I don't think it would be the Mifi.

The computer sees the Mifi name, just won't connect. I have run the troubleshooting program with zero results.

So, where do I go from here, any ideas?

    None of the suggestions worked. I guess it is time for a roadtrip to the VZ store

    You will also have to create an ID PROFILE for the computer you want to use it with using your assigned MIFI Account user name and password....

    Sometimes the best bet is take the MIFI unit and LAPTOP to your local Verizon SHop and let them get it all working for you.

    As Happykayakers said, try dropping or forgetting that connection and then let it find it again. Also, try rebooting the MiFi by powering it off and back on.

    From "manage wireless Networks" in your control panel, remove that MiFi connection and let it rediscover. You could also check your events log and see if there's a clue there. Without knowing what error you're getting, it's tough to say.
