Help wifi is acting up !

[michael1423]

My laptop is timed out and stuck on identifying for 2 days. My wifi bar is 0 bars with a snowflake in the top left. Plz help . Ps my wifi is working on my pc and 3 phones.

sounds like a permissions issue., ( wifi can just not work sometimes) have you tried resetting your router? or disable then re-enable the wifi on the laptop? what OS are you using? 

[michael1423]

I'm using windows 8.1 64bit

[michael1423]

For some reason it won't even show my neighbours wifi either .

[michael1423]

And it even won't work with a either net cable . Is there something wrong with my laptop I just got it about 2 weeks ago.

[Muffinmaddness]

ok what laptop is it? and can you click on the network icon in the system tray and screen cap it please =)

Try disabling the wireless adapter, then re-enabling it. If that doesn't work make sure you've typed in all your passwords and settings correctly into the laptop. Consider doing a Disk-Cleanup to get rid of all the bulk cache files and what not and a full shutdown then reboot never killed anyone.

But when I click on it it says :

NETWORKS

view connection settings

WI-FI

No networks found
