After having no issues for a couple of years, I quite suddenly can't connect to my wireless network with my laptop. When I choose my network and try to connect, it goes through the motions and says "connected!" but there's no actual connection made.

Next to my network name, it'll say "not connected" and then later "automatic" but there's not connection made.

My card is picking up other unsecured signals in the neighborhood; my wife's computer uses our network with no problems.

I'm sure this problem's been addressed here before; please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

I'm not great on wireless but it would have to be something done between when it worked last and when it started not working

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.

Try rollingback the driver and/or uninstalling then reinstalling the driver. Even try to update the driver. It could be something as simple as this or it could be a hardware/software issue.
