Same old story again - Newer WIDI v4.2.19.0 keeps asking for security code for older Netgear adapters (PTV 2000)

Intel,

     This is a follow-up to my old thread: http://communities.intel.com/thread/39728

 

I was hoping after so many months and a new WiDi version, atleast someone would have looked at this problem... but no! We have the same issue again - the 8 digit code pairs only once - the widi software does not remember it and the adapter keeps asking for re-pairing everytime the widi application is restarted.

 

@Joe_intel - I think in the previous thread, you had mentioned that you were able to reproduce the issue and the team was looking into it.. After so much time I have given up on any improvement from Intel's side! Its really disappointing that Intel chooses to have such horrible techonlogy consistency in their products.

 

In case you are wondering, this is my system config:

 

windows 7 64-bit

using sony vaio VPCSC1AFM

graphics driver: 8.862.4.4000  (before you tell me this is old, let me tell you that this is the modified driver that is supplied by Sony. We cannot directly use the stock intel graphics 9.xx driver since the laptop has switchable intel/amd graphics.

 

wifi driver: 16.1.1.0

widi software: 4.2.19.0

netgear ptv2000 adapter firmware: 3.5.42.0  (ID: F33B)

 

Only widi software v3.1.29 or below, the 4-digit code with earlier versions works fine, no repetitive asking for code.


Intel - its just a big shame on you.
