Wireless internet question ?
We have a Netgear N600 Dual Band Wireless router - my computer is hard wired into it and it works fine. My daughter has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 that has an Atheros AR9285 internal wireless adapter. If she plugs an ethernet cable fron the router into her laptop, her internet works, but when she unplugs it, no WiFi - it was working fine for a while, but just stopped. When I went into the control panel and tried to troubleshoot the problem, it did a check and said that "the adapter is not connected" - if I right click and select "enable adapter" - I still get that message - any ideas ?

uninstall the adapter driver & install it again. It will work.
