Dell Studio 1569 - wireless not working
Studio 1569 that isn't connecting fully to the wireless network. It says that it is connected, however only lists it as a "Unidentified Network"
Wired DOES work however.
All other computers and tablets in the house can connect to the network just fine.
Have already tried:
- Power cycling the networking equip
- Restarted the computer
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the proper drivers for the wireless card
- Ran the "troubleshooting" tool that hardly ever actually helps
When I ran the tool, it said that the "Gateway could not be reached"
Kind of at a loss for ideas as to what to try next since reinstalling the proper up-to-date drivers did not work.
Also, if it matters - the HDMI port on this computer is not working also anymore.

Refreshing the connection doesn't work, neither does unchecking and rechecking obtain automatically either.
Only reason I brought up the HDMI issue is if it is on the same board, maybe the whole board was defective?

I had completely spaced on doing a dnsflush, one of the drivers you suggested was the one I had reinstalled previously.
But I did a dnsflush, and it works again now. Thank you very much for reminding me. Kinda funny, I used to do tech support for a living, and had people do that weekly.... weird that I would forget it now.
