can anyone help my with an idiots guide to how i connect to wi fi-my laptop has been fine till this morning. i am now connected by ethernet cable. ive tried restarting the laptop--and also the talk talk internet box. my tablet and phone are working fine.
No expert but when mine goes I fiddle with the settings: Try clicking on the TV Box picture next to the loudspeaker... Then click on Networking and Internet Settings Then click on Change adapter options Look for the connection that starts "Ethernet..." Right click on it and disable it Look for the connection that starts "Wifi..." Try to connect or disconnect (picking the right Wifi name) ... If that doesn't work, while Wifi connection is still selected (shaded in blue) try clicking on the Diagnose this connection option Should run the Troubleshooter... If it connects then you can just unplug the ethernet cable and should be ok. If it doesn't select the Ethernet connection and enable it again... Next try clicking on the TV Box picture next to the loudspeaker again... Right click on your Wifi connection and choose forget - make sure you have the password... to reconnect Unplug the ethernet connection Shut down your laptop Wait 30 seconds and restart it Try to reconnect to the Wifi... and input your password again If that fails plug the Ethernet in again and have a beer or something.
