Laptop suddently stopped connecting to network
Hi,
Please can anyone help?
My new Inspiron N5010 (about 2 weeks old) has been working perfectly until yesterday, when it suddenly stopped connecting to my wireless network.
It recognises the network and attempts to connect automatically and fails every time. When I ran troubleshoot the message I got was "problem with wireless adapter or access point detected".
What does this mean?
I have run system restore to an earlier point when everything was working fine, but this did not help.
I know the network is ok because I have another laptop and a smartphone on the network.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PudgyOne

Liory,
Power off the ISP modem/router. Power off your wireless router(if any) wiat 30 seconds, then turn on the ISP modem/router. Wait 30 seconds, then turn on the wireless router(if any)
Restart your computer.
What happens?
