    actually- try rebooting the router. Usually an option in it's config pages; or just unplug it until it's lights turn off, then plug it back in.

    I wonder if your warp crystals might need replacing.

    good point, I never thought of that one. I always just kind of bang'em together, sure, the captain THINKS I replaced them, but I just pocketed the 50 cents for the new crystals (which happen to just be replicated lego pieces).

    Actually, this might be the reason the engines always seem to have problems when their needed most. Thankfully, those dumb engineers don't even know I haven't replaced a single crystal in over 10 years on any ship. So far, I've made almost 10 bucks, too.

        well- I meant the wireless functionality, of course- could have been disabled somehow; or a setting got messed up.

          No it say there r NO networks

          Assuming the laptop's Wifi is still working properly- it's the router.

          troubleshooting these types of problems only start out with guesswork. it narrows down as we get more information. In this case, unless another wireless device is connecting to the router with no problem, the router's wireless functionality has been impaired. The quickest solution is to simply reset the router. Most routers have a reset button on their rump.

          Also: I just had a thought- you haven't changed the settings... but what wireless security have you implemented?

            I don't know what security I have, but I know I have security set to "Higher Security".

              Can you make a screenshot of your wireless software?

              or even better; just reboot the router.
