Hi,
The wireless drivers may be corrupt.
This method will hard reset the wireless drivers back
to
default settings, but before you perform this remove power from the
modem and router for 2 minutes reconnect power and wait another 2
minutes for them to settle down.
Right click "computer" select "manage"
and then "device manager", a list will populate, then click on the + sign next to "network
adapters" and right click on the wireless adapter and "uninstall" the
device, reboot the PC and wait for windows to detect the wireless
card and install the drivers for it, this will appear in the system
tray (bottom right hand side) when its done try to connect again. Also please remember to turn on the switch or use a keyboard toggle to turn on the wireless radio.
Get back to me if you need anymore help or advice.
Good luck.
Hi,
It's strange that the wireless controller is missing in device manager. Go back to device manager and click on computer, then scan for new hardware.
If it picks up the hardware then it will install the drivers for it. If it doesn't then restart the computer and go into the BIOS and check to see if the WLAN is enabled.
Usually to get into the BIOS repeatedly tap F2 as it starts up.
Please let me know how you get on.
Good luck

I have windows vista.under device manager I can't see any other network adapter other than the LAN Networking controller.
The toggle swicth is on and solid orange. What do you think is wrong?
Thank you
