Just turned my laptop on now and it didn't connect. Right clicked and clicked on troubleshoot problems. The troubleshooter started and it coming up asking me to verifly the network key. It then came up with the network properties and the network key was already entered so i clicked ok. It wouldn't connect and came up telling me to investigate router or access point. I then tried the troubleshoot again, this time lifting the laptop of the bed a bit and it connected saying problems detected, Windows cannot connect to the network, and then problems fixed, problem with wireless adapter or access point. I reinstalled the nerwork adapter from device manager but it has made no difference

I have tried another laptop and it connected no problem. I have re-booted the router but it doesn't seem to make a difference When the connection is down i right-click on the wireless symbol in the bottom right hand corner and select troubleshoot and eventually it reconnects, during this time the other computers in the house remain connected. It is not so much a problem of staying connected, it is getting connected. Once it is eventually connected it is usually fine. Could it be a problem with my network adapter as the other laptop connects.

The router is at the side of a wardrobe in the hall and it has to travel upstairs so I would expect the signal to be weaker. My old laptop used to connect fine and my smartphone connects ok. The router is a D-Link DSL-2780

Still having the same problem. Turned laptop on this morning and didn't connect automatically. Had to use the troubleshoot and eventually it connected. It came up saying problem with wireless adapter or access point. If I move the computer closer to the door or lift it up it seems to connect easier. What should I try now. That was using channel 6

I've changed it to channel 6. Restarted the computer and it connected fine, I'll have to see how it goes and report back if there are any problems as its a bit intermittent

Thanks, I know how to change the channel, it is currently set to AutoChannel to automatically find the best channel. It is currently on channel 13. We also have a desktop computer downstairs but that connects fine. I am a bit worried to change the channel as I don't want to mess it up, or will it be ok.

I have a Samsung R730 laptop with Windows 7. I am having problems connecting to the internet when I first turn on the laptop. It very rarely connects first time, when I turn it on the internet symbol in the bottom right hand corner shows a blue loading circle and then it almost always then goes to a gold star and if i click on it it says next to the name of the network limited connectivity. I have to right click and select troubleshoot problems, but i have to do this a few times to get it to connect. I have talktalk internet and the router is downstairs and my laptop is upstairs so i thought that maybe it is too far away but my smartphone always connects in my room and the signal strength on my laptop is excellent, although when I take my laptop downstairs it connects first time no problem. I have checked for driver updates for the wireless card and it is up to date. Someone suggested to me to disable the manufacturers software and connect to the internet using Windows wireless zero but i think i might be using that i'm not sure how to tell. What could be the problem
