Internet on the laptop

thesultan

Was working this morning for a bit. Stopped working then. I deleted it after. I went into control panel then and typed in broadband name and password but doesn't seem to connect..

Did you type 'google' in to Google?! :pac:

When you say you deleted it, you deleted your broadband SSID (the name of the WiFi)?

It should come up in the list of available connections if you click the icon at the bottom right (when you mouse over it, it should say "network connections").

If you're running Windows 8, bring the mouse up to the top right and a menu should appear that lets you click in to your network connections there.

Are you using Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, XT, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10?

thesultan

Excuse my ignorance where do I find that out?

thesultan

I said plug an Ethernet cable into the laptop. I didn't have to do that before

What in jaysus is this thread?

Did the issue resolve itself (WiFi back up running)?

I wish people would NOT turn off the internet, it might ruin someone's day...
