My laptop can't connect to Wi-Fi?
When I try to connect my laptop to my Wi-Fi router, it says "Windows was unable to connect to this network." I know there are about a million of these posts, and let me assure you, I have read about a hundred of them before posting this.
To clarify, all of my other devices (Desktop, iPhone, Kindle) can connect to the network. Also, my laptop can potentially connect to other networks in the area(they are password protected, so I can't be sure). I was also able to create an adhoc with my desktop and the laptop connected just fine.
Things I have tried already:
1. Removed the network from my saved network profiles (under Manage wireless networks).
2. Disabled and then enabled network adapter
3. Uninstalled network adapter and rebooted.
4. Reset modem/router (several times).
5. Tried this:
Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:
Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults.netsh int ip reset reset.log
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Reboot the machine.
Still, nothing works… Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, one more thing. When I go to cmd.exe and type ipconfig/all, DHCP is enabled.

- One laptop can connect to our home Wi-Fi network but no other devices can connect? We recently set up a wireless internet connection in our house. One laptop can connect to it (the one I'm currently on) but no other devices can connect to it. It says our "Network Security Key" is mismatched. I have tried typing in all the different codes on both the router and modem on both our second laptop and an iPhone 5. How can I fix this?
- My Wi-Fi won't connect on my laptop but will connect to my other devices (an iPhone and iPad)? I have a MacBook Air. Sometimes it does connect but other times it just won't. It takes ages connecting and then in the end comes up with the exclamation mark or is just blank. Is this a problem with my laptop? I've tried researching the problem but have found nothing.
