Hi,

I've been working on my laptop with its wireless connection for about 4 months, no problem. About a week ago the wireless connection went really low, and now its gone completely. I used to pick up neighbors wireless connections, but again nothing. Nothing is on my wireless network! I've tried everything, and nothing.

Any advice?

Kind reguards

Hi Jon Wilkin and welcome to Geeks To Go!

Please check the following for me:

Check Device Manager

Click Start
Click Run
Type devmgmt.msc
Click OK tab
Click the Device Manager button
Expand the Network Adapters group

Do you see a wireless adapter there? Does it have a red X? If you don't see it there do you have a Unknown or Other Devices group (Would have items with a yellow exclamation point infront of them)? What's in there if anything?
