Hi guys, I've searched this forum with no luck. I'm not up to speed with wireless adaptors, wifi, etc. and would really appreciate some help.

I've got a emachines E442 laptop with 802.11b/g/n wireless..something?? It used to work fine with my Meteor wifi hotspot but recently it has stopped working. My laptop doesn't pick up and wireless activity. It has a function key (Fn + F3) which should turn wireless on and off but it doesn't do anything. The Meteor hotspot wifi is working fine because I can connect my phone to it.

I have checked the wireless hardware I think and it says it is working fine.

I don't know what else to do or what the problem may be. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Try updating the wireless driver could have become faulty
