Yet another computer problem

    My Gateway laptop no longer can get on-line. I get a "You're not connected to a network" message. If I go to "tools, internet options, connections, and setup" my only option is Broadband. I'm using a router and another laptop about 3 feet away works fine. I am not in airplane mode BTW. Any ideas folks?

    Thanks,

    I wondered about that Jerry. Do you think that there is another button other than my airplane mode button?

    There is usually a button on the keyboard that turns wifi on and off. Don

    I have worked for hours only to discover that I accidentally tuned off the WIFI button.

    Can you check your adapter settings? check that you're still set for DHCP.

    Which version of windows?

    Mine like to shut it off on its own. If that happens I just turn it back on that is located on the bottom right corner of my screen an Icon named internet access.

    If that does not work and sometimes it doesn't I reboot.

    The Icon looks like.

    It works!

    Gateway (running Win10)has a button on the bottom of the screen called "Device Fast Lane". It's just an easy way to go to "device manager". I could see that my Wi-Fi was turned off and I could turn it on but there was no "save" or even "OK" button to click. I could exit, go to my home screen, then go back to device manager and my Wi-Fi was turned off again. At that point I gave up for the day.

    Booting up this morning I had a "wait for system changes" (or something) like that. Now I have Wi-Fi.

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. These computers are just a fad. I think I'm going back to my abacus.
