Check in the bottom right hand corner for another program that might be accessing the wireless hardware. Belkin (for example) often have their own connecting software that conflicts with the windows version.
I'm having the same problem with my Acer Aspire 3000, it will no longer detect my wireless router. I have never had a problem like this in the last 5 years while in my home with my laptop. I tried restarting the laptop, unplugging and plugging the router, i made sure that the wireless switch on the laptop is on, and especially made sure there were no programs on the bottom right hand corner accessing the router. I tried waiting it out but the problem remains. Is the laptop going bad?
