Morning Mike.  Adjusting to retirement is similar to adjusting to not smoking.  It takes time, give it time.  : )  Enjoy your day.  Namaste

Good morning Mike, 

Another day among the land of the living.  Good to be here and free.  Stay focused everyone, do not be tricked.

Good Morning Mike - I hope that you can get the laptop connected.  Some times it can be a router problem and resetting the router will solve your problem.  Hope you have a good day.

Unless the actual wireless adaptor is fried, there should be no reason it can't connect if it did yesterday.

My brother was running Vista until a few weeks ago.  :-)What OS are you running?

Hi,

My laptop has windows 8

It is getting up there in age 

A lot of the programs are out dated 

Have a good day

Resetting Network Adapter (Winsock Reset) | iiHelp 

I couldn't connect a week or so ago but I have two computers so I knew it wasn't them. I bought a new dual band router for under $30 and that solved the wifi problem. Do you have a tablet or a smartphone that you can test to see if it's your router?

Hi,

 I use coffee shop WIFI 

I went wireless two years ago and gave up the phone line 

I'll try resetting the adapter.

Thanks

I have to periodically reset my router, just unplug it for about a minute or even less and then plug it back in.  Often times, that will do it. 

Have a wonderful Friday.

Ellen
