    So I'm having this issue with my wireless adaptor in my laptop. My OS is windows 8 if that matters and it's an HP 2000 series. The model is 2000-2b09WM and serial# 5CG2370HG2. Now for the issue I'm having, my adaptor will connect to the network but won't give me internet access, but everything else in the house works perfectly fine on the same router. I've never had this problem before and have tried all the trouble shooting steps I could think of and found on the internet. All the way down to doing a system restore and reinstalling the driver. Can someone please help?

    Go here
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp60501-61000/sp60642.exe


    download that and save it to your desktop
    Then follow this


    . Download the file by clicking the Download or Obtain Software button and saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where the downloaded file is saved).

    2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.

    3. If a message box titled Program Compatibility Assistant is displayed after the installation is complete, click This program installed correctly.

    4. Restart the notebook.

    NOTE: It is recommended to remove the previous driver before installing new driver.


    Do that in red by going device manager expand network adapters and then on the entry for the Qualcomm -
    right click
    properties
    driver tab
    uninstall


    ENSURE all apps and browser are closed and only device manager is open


    Then follow install instructions


    The reason for doing this is that there is a good chance that Windows has installed the wrong driver - I will explain that when you reply


    After installation REBOOT let it find the network and if necessary connect by clicking on the wireless bars on the right of the taskbar notification area


    NOTE Please
    original link to download for your computer is here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...c=en&lc=en&os=4132&productOid=5309523&sw_lang=


    but the HP site does not always go back to the right page

    You posted that you had a connection but no internet access
    I am asking if it is now OK after the installation of the driver

    The reason I asked about Norton is that HP say that the Norton trial was installed with the computer

    This is hard work mate

    as all I have to work with is what you tell me

    The reason I asked was to try and help you as Norton is possibly a good AV program but that aspect is NO WHERE near as good as its ability to cause problems - at least that is MHO







    Is it NOW all OK

    Go Control Panel Devices and Printers
    right click the computer icon - it may well have your name on it


    click device installation settings
    when that opens check and I think you will find that you have windows updates set to also install driver updates


    Good as I think 8 and 8.1 are - there is undoubted evidence that especially with wireless adapter drivers and to some extent graphic drivers - they do not always get it right
