Wireless Network Connected but No Internet Access

Well I'm connected to my friend's network at school, so I know it's not a problem with just my computer. I'll be back home tomorrow to try again on my network.

Maybe the passphrase changed? Try removing the existing wireless network:

Type networks at the Start menu, and select "Manage wireless networks."
Here you can change the search & connect order for wireless networks (top-most is 1st priority), as well as delete a network.

Now click on the Wireless Network icon in the System area of the Taskbar and connect to the wireless network again. See if that helps.

I've tried that, to no avail

Sorry, I can't really copy and paste because I'm on my phone. I'll have to post a screen shot. Give me a few

If you can go into Device Manager and open up Network connections, then disable the Microsoft virtual WiFi mini port adaptor. After that see if your connection works again, it may require a reboot.

This virtual adaptor causes connection problems all the time.

ok thanks, I'll try tomorrow

Please post a screenshot from xirrus link below:
Wi-Fi Inspector | Xirrus

which function of xirrus do I use? is there a scan or something that you can run?

Just open it up and paste the screenshot please.

here you are, remember this is not the network in question, but a network at school. I'll be back home tonight

Your signal looks fine i would change the channels from 1 and 5 to 4 and 8 on the router see if connectivity improves.

Also disable the microsoft virtual adapter as chev65 has advised.

Disabled and uninstalled the virtual adapter, no luck. I'll try changing channels tomorrow

The xirrus needs to be from the apartment as it is there you are reporting the issues that is right?

This is the network in question

Channel overlap looks to be a problem here.

You will want to change the channel in your router's settings to something other than 11, 6 or 1, either way there will be some channel overlap because all the best channels are already being used but you should at least be using a channel that is different than the ones your neighbors are using.

It may take some experimenting to find the best possible channel.

I need to change the channel the router is using or the one my computer is using?

edit: answered my own question. Changed the channel to 2 after restoring ye router to factory default settings. No luck

Do you have AVG or iTunes installed on this system?
