    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.
