Wireless not working

Hi, hope someone can help. I have just set up a new ASUS zenbook prime. I set up the wireless network 2 nights ago and had no problems. I then installed Microsoft Office 2010 and the problems started. I started getting errors about ATK0100 driver missing and the wireless function stopped working. I re-installed the ATK0100 driver and that stoppped that error message. I then thought that the wireless adapter may have also been affected by the Offce install so I removed then re-installed that one (Intel Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235). I also unistalled Office but still hasn't fixed the problem. I can connect via a 4G USB wireless adapter but can't connect to my home wireless modem. I have 2 other laptops (windows7 and vista) accessing the wireless modem. When I try to connect the error is "no network access"" and "Windows was unable to connect to "SSID"". I have tried removing the wireless network and adding it again but to no avail. I have also used the troubleshooter but it can't find anything wrong either. The wireless function is on and I'm not sure what else to try? I have trawled through lots of forums and it seems like quite a few people have the same problem but I haven't yet found an answer.

Thanks.

Alright try this and tell me if it works Follow the steps
1. Click Control panel
2. Click network and internet
3. Click view network status and task
4. Look on the left side and click change adapters settings
5. Now Right click your wireless net work connection
6. Press diagnose and yeah let it do the rest (fix all your problems)

Please open device manager, and head to network adapter. Then find your adapter that is trying to connect, make sure no suspicious symbols are next to it. If none are appearing right click it and press uninstall, make sure not to check delete driver software. This could take a minute or so. Once it finishes while in device manager go to "action - Scan for hardware changes" This will re identify the adapter and install the drivers. Try connecting, back to your network, and when asked between home, public, or business make sure to chose home. Please reply with your feedback on how that goes.

" I have tried removing the wireless network and adding it again but to no avail. I have also used the troubleshooter but it can't find anything wrong either"

I think he already ran the diagnosis, and removed the network saved settings and it did not fix his problem.

ahhh well try it any way.

Thanks for the prompt response guys! And he's a she if you don't mind :)

Right, so I did already try the diagnose but tried it again to see what would happen. It says resetting the adapter then resolving the problem. It then says to recycle the power on the router and try again. But it doesn't fix it.

I also unistalled the adapter (there were no icons beside it showing anything funny) but again no luck.

I then got very excited as I uninstalled macafee (preinstalled on the laptop) and switched off windows firewall, recycled the power on the router and it worked! I was then posting a reply to let you know it was fixed and the bugger stopped working again.

So I'm now at a complete loss again

Wait did your wireless stopped working again?

O damnit excuse my language but i have seen this all over the place recently! McAfee's latest update has screwed over tons of people.
here is their link to fix the problem. I am sorry for your troubles.
You have no Internet access and/or see error messages from McAfee on your computer

Edit: wait you uninstalled Mcafee, please follow these instructions 1st, and then do the above. sorry for such the trouble.
System Restore

Well, it did. And just now I turned the power off/on on the modem again, and it seems to be working again, for all of the last 10 minutes. I'll wait until tomorrow then post this matter as resolved if it stays fixed

Thanks for that Skylais, yes I think it is Macafee that caused the problem, hope this helps other people in the same boat.
