    Thanks Dexter for your follow up.  But still having the issue.  I reset my NETGEAR GENIE WIFI Router and setup a NEW SSID name and WPA password and still no issues.  There MUST Be some incompatibility with my Linux 17 OS and using a NETGEAR WNDA3100 USB wifi adapter becuase it DOES CONNECT TO MY NEIGHBORS WIFI and they are using Centurylink Prism.  The USB Wifif adater is fine meaning that I have used is usccessfully on my wifi network when used witha Windows 10 PC so I know the adapter is good.

     

    On my newly built Linux 17 PC, it see my wifi network and prompts for a password, I enter it correctly and it goes away and then prompts me again.  weird
