Hey all - connectivity issue here. My sis has the above laptop. For a year or better, she has been wirelessly connected to her local network, via a Linksys E2000 router without issue.

 

Rather suddenly a couple of weeks back, she found she had no connection. There were no changes to this network that I'm aware of (the users don't even know how to change settings online for said network). Several available networks show up on the list (hers and a couple of unsecured neighbors I believe). Despite full bars for her local network, clicking 'connect' has no visible effect. Nothing happens. Not like a 'failed to connect' or something similar, just...nothing.

 

I went through various steps such as;

- assured that fn+F2 was not the issue, wireless is enabled

- power down, wait and reboot the modem, router, and her laptop, in that order

- 'hard' reset router at power up to restore defaults

- uninstalled network adapter(s) and reinstalled - with the company site's latest drivers - they installed, and 'ready to use' appeared

- ran the various (fairly useless) Windows network diagnostics which essentially told me I hadn't selected a network...which I had...repeatedly

- Swapped out router completely with another, with the same results

- Took laptop here, to a completely different network, again with the same results

- released/renewed IP on laptop

- reset TCP/IP with 'netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt' command

 

The local networks I'm attempting to connect to are unsecured - no password required, etc.

 

The laptop does connect fine when wired

 

So, any idea what I should try next? My experience here is rather limited, and I've run out of ideas. Thanks much for any suggestions!

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Thanks for the very comprehensive post :)

Sorry I couldn't read the details in the Xirrus pic.

 

Click on Start .....type in .....devmgmt.msc .....ENTER

Click on the + next to Network Adapters

The wireless adapter should be listed here - is it ?

 

1. What is showing for the wireless adapter ?

2. Are there any yellow exclamation marks ?

 

You can do this with the ethernet cable attached ....

Click on the blue "Wireless Test" in my signature below.

Download the software to the desktop.

 

Disconnect the cable and attempt to run off wireless connection.

Run the software.

It will produce a long log.

Copy this and post it here please.

 

 

IMPORTANT ADDITION:

Can other laptops etc connect through this router and get a connection ?
