Networking & Wi-Fi

[#1]

    SO HERES THE PROBLEM, I HAVE NO NETWORK CONNECTIVITY EVEN THOUGH MY DEVICES ARE WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I TURN MY COMPUTER ON IT USED TO CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY. NOW IT SAYS WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ANY NETWORKS EVEN THOUGH IM SITTING NEXT TO THE ROUTER. ONCE I DIAGNOSE, IT SAYS "WIRELESS CAPABILITY ON THIS COMPUTER IS TURNED OFF" AND "TURN ON WIRELESS CAPABILITY-THIS CAN BE DONE BY USING A SWITCH....OR A FUNCTION KEY COMBINATION (BOTH ARE TURNED ON). I CLICK IT AND IT SAYS REPAIRED....20 MINUTES LATER IT DISCONNECTS!! THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TURN MY COMPUTER ON.

    UNDER MY DEVICE MANAGER, MY WIRELESS CARD IS ENABLED AND IN MY NETWORK SETTINGS MY LAN IS ENABLED. SO I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE INTELL 5100 , BUT I DONT KNOW. IVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS TO TRY TO FIX IT BUT I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WIT IT.

    IT WORKS IF I PLUG IN THE ETHENET CORD, BUT I CANT TAKE THE CORD WITH ME EVERYWHERE. I START SCHOOL SOON AND I WILL NEED WIRELESS. MY WARRANTY ENDED RIGHT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM OCCURED. ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND I HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION.

I see it also affected your keyboard. The capslock key appears to be stuck.
