    wireless stopped working
    « on: April 24, 2015, 08:57:36 AM »
    have a 2 y/o laptop, yesterday, wireless stopped connecting,  every other wireless device connects fine to my network.
    I have disabled and reenabled my wireless adapter, still no luck,  what else should i try? 
    I dont think the wireless card is dead, since it sees networks, just wont connect,
    thanks.

      Is this an addon wireless card ? ?

      If so update was likely a bad idea...
      Remove it in Device Manager...power down...remove the card and run the original install CD...it'll tell you when to plug the card in.

          Look in Device Manager...any Yellow !!'s ? ?
          If so re-install ALL the laptop drivers...chipset 1st.
