Wifi icon blinking + couldnt detect network
Hi, I'm using Inspiron 700m. My wireless light on the laptop (below the screen) started to blink when I turned on my computer but at times it stops and i couldnt detect any wireless connection from the router. I'm 100% sure that my router is functioning and my setup is right as I've been using the network. What does the blinking light means and how can I make my wireless work again. Thanks
