I recently moved to a new house and setup a wireless network. My iPhone and iPad both have functioning Wi-Fi but my computer and laptop do not. My computer does not have a physical wireless switch. I tried Method 3 from this site (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-7-wireless-not-currently-enabled/84aace71-d509-452d-955c-c27f3956f1d5) and it still did not work. Method 2 is not applicable to me because I do not have "Network Options" available. My computer is within range.
When I click on the network icon on the bottom right of my screen I see "Broadband Connection" under Dial-Up and VPN but no "Wireless Network Connections." My parents' computer has a cable connected to it so this one does not use wireless, instead it uses "Local Area Connection."
When I click on "Wireless Network Connection" it shows…
IPv4 Connectivity: Internet
IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
Media State: Enabled
Under "Activity"
Sent and Received looks fine and is working.
I'm at a desperate loss of what to do. I've been to countless websites and checked things over and over again and NOTHING is working. I've been without internet for weeks and now that finally have it setup, my computer won't connect.
Sincere and helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Links are okay too although I probably read them all by now.
I want to learn how to solve this problem on my own for the future, so detailed answers please.
Thanks for reading.
