so, one weird thing is that my main wireless router, which is WPA2-PSK AES shows up as WEP to the W98 laptop, but the wifi repeater i have in my apartment shows properly as WPA2, so i have to connect through that. has anyone seen anything like this?

Follow

and no, manually setting up that broadcast SSID as WPA2-PSK AES does not work, it refuses to ever connect. trying to connect with the WEP setup using the same passphrase... seems to attach, but there's no internet or local networking, which is very weird

the router is a TP-Link Archer C80 and the card in the W98 laptop is a D-Link DWL-G630 rev. E
