Keep connecting/disconnecting from wireless network
Hello,
I'm sure this isn't a unique problem by any means, but this is the first time this has happened to me, and a quick google search didn't turn up too much. Today, out of the blue, I started having trouble connecting to my wireless network. It seems to be stuck in an endless loop of attempting to connect to the network. It will reach the "identifying" stage of attempting to connect, stay there for 5-10 secs, then disconnect. This process then repeats ad nauseum. There were no major system or software updates of note, and I even did a system restore (after other attempts to fix the problem) to a point a week prior when I did not have this issue. Currently, I am able to connect to the internet fine via a wired connection, and other devices are able to connect fine to the wireless network (ipad, iphone, roommates computer, etc).
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 series. I went into the device manager to look at my network adapters, and I have 4 listed: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter (1 and 2), and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I have made sure all drivers for each network adapter are up to date, and I have tried disabling each adapter in turn, and the problem persists.
Running the windows network diagnostic tool turns up nothing useful. I do have another troubleshooter program entitled "Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools" ( I assume it came with the wireless card). It also has a network diagnostic tool, and I continually fail the "Association test", though I am not quite sure what this means.
At this point, and advice would be appreciated, even if it is just pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks.
