Here are some things to check:
1 Has someone inadvertantly switched off the wireless facility on uour laptop?...check for a hardware switch often with a LED which illuminates when the wireless is on, and also be sure to check that no one has switched the wireless off through software.... often a Fn key + a Fkey acts as a "soft switch"
2 Check in Device Manager that your wireless network adapter is installed and that there are no warning flags shown ...usually Yellow or Red...by right clicking on it you should be able to tell if its being recognised and is working OK
3 Connect an Ethernet cable twixt your laptop and router...... does this enable the laptop to connect to the Internet?
4 If still in trouble try and connect wirelessly, and this time open a command prompt with elevated privileges (Right click and Run as Administrator)
type in:
cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping bbc.co.uk >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"
Press Enter key
Note please use "copy and paste" (Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v) for this command, as this will automatically make sure you get the spaces correct!
Please copy and paste the output into your reply.

Hi, I am having the same problem. I did what you suggested. Here is the output..Hi Neil,
Run the command again, but this time with the Ethernet cable disconnected and your wireless network (via control panel) set to enabled
