Bootcamp Windows 7 (64-bit), WIFI failed in Windows 7 but OK in Mac OS X

I've just purchased a MacBook Pro 13" (2010 model), it is connecting fine with my home WIFI (N) in both Mac OS X 10.6.3 and Windows 7 (Bootcamp). However, it doesn't connect to my office WIFI (g) in Windows 7 (Bootcamp) but no problem in Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Please check. Thanks!

I notice, in WIFI (g), with WEP security, MacBook Pro running in Windows 7 (Bootcamp) may not be able to connect to the available network directly.

You have to setup thru the wizard manually in order to save the profile so that Windows 7 will then connect it automatically.

I am having exactly the same problem on a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17 that I got a few days ago. Windows 7 cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks. I have had the problem both at home and at work with WPA and WEP security. I can connect if I configure manually the network settings.
