  • Laptop won't detect Wi-Fi anymore? So, my family recently moved house and have already got the Internet set up. The Internet is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but the laptop seems to have trouble. It use to be able to connect to other networks but no it isn't. Help?

  • I'm trying to use my hotspot from my iPhone for my laptop and it won't connect? The computer is a Dell Latitude D600 and I'm using a D-Link plug in. The phones Wi-Fi is showing up but when I click connect, it says "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." It shows full service on both the phone and computer and the phone is right next to the computer. Any ideas?
