hp pavillion g6 notebook windows 8 64bit.

The wireless wont connect to home broadband.

It detects it and it detects my neighbours (have there password) but refuses to connect to either.

Flight mode is off.

Have another computer here and it has no problem with the broadband connection.

Think wireless adapter shut off, tried using hp support program to repair problem but it cant help.

 

(i borrowed a vodafone usb and loaded it to the computer to give temperary internet, pay as you go. it worked but when i had to turn off the laptop and turned it back on 2hours later it would not connect to the net again)

 

Any help is appreciated please, this laptop is only a month old

Hello phoenix2002ie,

 

You’re having a problem with the wireless not connecting.

 

Go to device manager and uninstall the wireless driver.

This will uninstall and reinstall the driver.

 

Here is a link to device manager.

 

Also Go to HP.com and update the wireless adapter.

 

Here is the link to the updates. You’ll need your product number.

 

You can also check to make sure that your router is compatible with windows 8 .

 

Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

 

Let me know how everything goes.

Have a good day.
