I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card installed in a HP laptop. The wireless network button on the side is pressed, the light is on, the computer recognizes the card and says it's working fine, and I have the latest driver installed, but it still can't find my network. What am I missing?

-   Same problem. When I do diagnositcs, the message "this machine has more than one ......... Wireless Adapter redirecting user to support call"?-   bowers2

-   The exact same problem, different type of laptop. The card just, out of nowhere, stopped recognizing any wireless networks yesterday. One second it was working fine (excellent signal strength, etc.), and then suddenly the little "X" appeared next to the wireless icon in the system tray, and whenever I try to search for wireless networks, it says "No wireless networks were found in range." Normally, it'd be detecting a number of them. I'm just trying to figure out if it's a corrupted driver issue (tried reinstalling several times), or the hardware itself crapped out on me straight out of the blue, with no history of problems or malfunction, ever, for the past three years (since I acquired said laptop).-   NateJ
assuming network is up..right? only reason that all of that would be happening, and no network, is that the signal is weak..can you see it on the network reader? and how strong is the signal(bars)?
Actually, I resolved the problem just the other day. I ran the Dell pre-boot Diagnostics Utility to check all of the hardware on my laptop, and when I restarted in normal mode afterwards, the problem was gone. My only guess is that a random value got changed somewhere in the drivers, and somehow running the Diag. Util. bumped it back to normal. Also, I was right next to my home router as well. I had friends use their laptops anywhere in my house, and it had an excellent signal for them (I also tried using it in other wifi locations, but it wasn't working there either).
Anyway, if you have a Dell (other brands, such as HP, might have something similar), try the Diag. Util. (accessed by hitting F12 when the Dell logo appears when you first boot up your computer. Then, select "Diagnostic" from the list that appears). Hope that helps anyone else with the same problem.

Laptop wireless has stopped receiving signal all of a sudden. The switch for wireless is on. It just stopped picking up the signal. I tested to see if the driver needed installing but it is up-to-date. Ive tried reseting router, re-entering wap/wep key. Disabling the driver/enabling. However, if i sit right next to the router it picks up a connection, but although it says excellent it is much slower than what it usually was. As soon as i change room, its lost again. The router has not been moved/played with. Sitting in same spot as ever. thanks
