Wireless reads but cannot connect to network... is it drivers?

[tm5rto]

Hi all! Please help! My wife's notebook, (ASUS G71GX, Win 7, wireless card Atheros AR928X), wireless connection to our home LAN (D-Link DIR-655) suddenly stopped. It shows the available networks, but cannot connect to it. The hardware manager shows no problem with the wireless card.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but could it be the drivers, not the hardware? So far, I uninstalled and re-installed the driver for the AR928X. No changes, but maybe I didn't do it right.

Could someone help out, please?

Never mind. Thanks. I ended up deleting my home network, and then re-creating it. That solved the problem, even though I still do not understand how that worked

BRAVO! Well done - - this is so typical if WiFi connection issues; just recreated the connection and it works again

Thanks! I wish I knew it was that easy four days ago! Live and learn

Yeah sometimes issues can be that simple. Possibly the network had a slight change (Encryption type, channel, something) and the old connection settings weren't matching.. Deleting and re-adding can resolve the issue.
