Hi,

Until a couple of days ago, my computer was connecting to my Dlink router. But now I can't even find my network.

I have reset my wireless router but still nothing. I haven't added a firewall, nor I had one previously, no errors on the hardware.

Any ideas??

First you must check that your Access Point is broadcasting its SSID (Signal flag). Try with another wireless computer if possible, if it works, the problem is from your computer.

If you do not see any network at all, try to turn off Windows firewall and any other antivirus, antispyware, anything of that kind.

You should make sure that you have the most up to date driver. You can also try a few different version of your driver. Make sure that every time you completely uninstall the driver, the folder that contains the driver, as well as any software that gets installed with the manufacturer's driver software.

Usually let windows handle the connection, but try your manufacturer's software just in case.

Your adapter may also be defective so try a different wireless adapter as a last resource.

From there you need to follow along and read every page carefully. All routers are not the same but you should find an area that says Wireless and then Security. If you used WEP encryption, for example, you will find that information there. This should cover you with most routers.
