My laptop won't connect to my wifi. No idea why. I've restarted it, the router and the modem but it didnt help. Thing is it says that it can pick up signal on my wifi but it won't connect. The desktop computer works fine and mom's Nook connects to wifi and works fine, it's just my laptop not working. I've also tried connecting it directly to the modem and it still won't connect. Help?

When you tried with a connection to the modem did you remember to power cycle the modem when switching the device connected to it?

What firewall or security suite?

Did this laptop ever connect successfully to the router?

It is connected to the router, it identifies it too. I just tried the TCP/IP stack repair and restarted the computer but nothing changed

Try Removing Wireless Profiles and reconnecting.
