Hi forum.
Have two old computers runing Linux that have wifi.
Computer 1, Laptop:
Thosiba Satelite, SA50-111, PSA50E-06W03PNO
OS: Linux Mint 18.3, 32 bit
Computer 2, midi tower with MB/CPU from 2003'ish (AMD Athlon 3200)
PCI Wifi card: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
OS: BunsenLabs "bl-Helium_i386_cdsized+build2.iso"
For both computers, the connection issue appear similar, and both computers have earlier being able to connect to the router successfully.
That is - both computers have a history of successfull wifi connections both when running XP (before it was abandoned) and various linux distros, so I find it very unlikely that bad wifi cards is the cause of this problems.
Problem description: Both computers is able to find the name of the ssid. When I try to connect to wifi, a password prompt, I type the password and it seemingly going busy a couple of seconds trying to connect. But instead, the password prompt just reappear again.
Even if I try to connect several times using the correct password, the password prompt just goes in an never ending loop.
Details about router:
